Marilene Salles was born in the South Coast of Brazil where she grew up, studied and started her artistic career.

Over the years she has been travelling both nationally and internationally to exhibit her art.

Marilene has had her artwork sold to all over the world through online galleries, art fairs and exhibitions. Her passion translates to artwork through vibrant colours, style and technique.

 She started painting when she was only five years old. Her interest for the arts came from her mother, who is also an artist, and she believes it is never too early to introduce a child to the world of art. She believes that being in touch with art at such an early age had developed her self-confidence, expression and creativity tapped into her individual and unique perceptions. "I believe it will help me stay in tune with my creative side throughout my entire life."

My art is about colour, movement, and happiness.

My hidden self with the world around me makes my life and art intertwine on a daily basis, blending my spirit with matter into my own masterful way. 

Sometimes I spend hours observing the world around me through my double lens to bring my soul vision into the earthly. 

The vibrant, saturated colours, overly intense light, fluid forms and textures taps into my individual and unique perceptions bringing me joy and wonder - the sheer luminosity of life, humanity and the cosmos, often leaves me speechless. 

Through my art I can express what I experience helping me to find a deeper understanding of this vast universe and my place within itMy objective is to provide the audience with a painting that is an exciting, visually pleasing piece, full of energy, depth, and power - the very power to which Kandinsky speaks in his quote:

"Colour is a power which directly influences the soul."
