Born in Barcelona, Spain in 1944, artist Salvador
Caballero began his professional career as an
illustrator and designer of book and magazine
covers. Without a doubt, this activity helped
him acquire the agility and precise aptitude
for drawing.
Caballero is one of many self-taught painters
who have written numerous brilliant pages in
the history of painting. Especially on the
Mediterranean shores in which the imagination,
and personal genius has always reigned over
the typical rationalism of other Central
European cultures. After being placed in
contact with the unique scenery of the coast
of Spain, Caballero found himself drawn into
this beauty, continually renewed as he placed
his easels before these landscapes so as to
transmit to the canvas the constant emotion
that this scenery provokes.
Today, Caballero is on his way to establishing
himself, within the panorama of Catalonian
painting, as one of the classic landscape artists
of our time. In addition to his many galleries in
Spain that have featured his paintings,
Caballero's work is enjoying exceptional
appreciation among American art collectors.
