Forest Salazar is a painter who was born and raised in Albuquerque, NM. His artistic foundation was laid early on studying music, ceramics, and photography before finding a love for painting around 2009- around the same time that he moved to Portland. Self-taught, Forest explores themes of duality, the subconscious, mental-illness, social injustice, and everyday pain and joy through a distinct use of color and abstraction. His work with young children over the last decade has played an important and noticeable role in his artistic style. Forest still lives and paints in Portland, Oregon.
