Juan Manuel Perez Salazar resides on the central coast, where he is an avid artist and gardener. His work has been displayed in, Mexico, India, and throughout California. His studio practice explores boundaries of painting and sculpture, crossing and transposing various modes of styles in search of his own images. The experiential and cultural associations of specific subjects and materials fuels his exploration. Inspired by the symbolism and beauty of the natural world, he utilizes blossoms to seduce the observer to take pleasure in watching flowers bloom. Inspired to compose what he gather with his senses in the garden; he often cuts his own flowers to serve as models.
