Original artwork description:

A textured gestural oil painting in a simple black tray frame. A contemporary portrait of a male subject half hidden in shadow.
Sal uses painting as a way to comment on contemporary life. She wants us to take a moment to connect; by capturing a glance, a look, an emotion that unites us. She selects the subjects and expressions for that instant of sensitivity, something we can relate to as viewers. These will often defy the usual portrait genre and gender stereotype.
Whether or not the subject is recognisable is not as important as the moment of connection. A visual portrayal of emotion that one can identify with, whoever the subject portrayed might be.
