Franco Salas Borquez Paintings
French, Chilean, b. 1979
Franco Salas Borquez’works depict the sea, the sole subject of his paintings. The artist paints the waves using an intuitive but rigorous hand to achieve the same degree of fluidity as the sea. Thus, his artworks, thanks to the effect of realism, reproduce the same sensation that comes from contemplating nature. His works are now exhibited in museums collections and in numerous international galleries and fairs. He received an award from Spain’s Institute for Maritime History and Culture in 2010, and another one from the Paris Marine Museum in 2011 and 2014.
“The sea is ultimately a fairly limited subject, but I like to play with these limits, it fascinates me. It’s like a game of chess where the board has 24 pieces, but there are infinite possibilities of combinations.”to

Déferlante
By Franco Salas Borquez
Located in Boston, MA
Born in 1979 in Chile, on the island of Chiloé, into a family of sailors, Franco Salas Borquez has kept a certain relationship with the sea, both nurturing and dangerous. The dark and raging sea, the one that commands respect.
As a child, he distinguished himself as a chess player, until he became national champion at 13 years old. The discipline is almost considered a sport in Chile. His talent as a player makes him represent his country in many tournaments. “I trained four hours a day. "
But the young man is also "absolute" passionate about drawing. So much so that he decides to embark on a career as an artist. It was in France, where he first landed as a language assistant, that his career took off. His first sea paintings quickly spotted him and opened the doors of institutional collections to him in 2010. Affirming an increasingly contemporary pictorial approach, Franco Salas Borquez works his works with a sort of memorial archive of oceanic images...
