Saloua Sarhiri  

Saloua travels through her paintings where colors and shapes feed her imagination.

She is impassioned by the suppleness of this visual form of communication, by the textured and colored surfaces, by her works, some more expressive than others.
Her brushes dance with the music and in the atmosphere surrounding.

Music guides her movements, and her imagination dictates the colors.

She enjoys playing with the contrast between matt and brilliant as well as with the transparency of colors.

Extract of art critic done by Stig Åke Stålnacke

“ Saloua's art, filled with poetic warmth and vitality

In truth, it had been years since I last stood in front of a work of art that so powerfully moved my innermost soul. 

Yes, I would say that this art had a power and a soulfulness to it that carved a deep furrow straight into the most important part of me; the place inside me where my love and my lifeblood and the most essential aspects of me dwell.

So there I stood; happy and almost ecstatic at being granted an insight into an artist's secret, holy source of energy. 

Happy to be able to see works by an artist who digs deep inside themselves and manages to create works of art that are filled with exactly what every art lover is seeking but so rarely finds.

The name of the artist whose works managed to enchant me so completely is Saloua.

Most of all, I am transfixed by a picture in a huge format which shouts out loud and bubbles over with vitality.

I think that a painting like this can very well stand comparison with works by Jackson Pollock.

Mark me well; what Saloua is doing and displaying is absolutely not illustration attempting to imitate art; these works are pictures in which the brush dances wildly around the canvas, where freedom is total. Such paintings can only be created by someone who is not and has never allowed themselves to be disciplined by rules or enslaving conventions."
