I’m Salmin Sheriff, a Bangalore-based artist, I’m a performer and storyteller, and I express my narratives through painted frames—stories of people I know or have encountered. Travel serves as a profound inspiration for me. My artistic style weaves between realism and abstract, tackling subjects like patriarchy, gender issues, and current socio-political events. I embrace vibrant colors akin to Fauvism, infusing excitement and hope into my stories. These colors not only bring life but also set the mood of my paintings. I predominantly work with oils on canvas, as my process is organic and ever-evolving, allowing room for changes.
Beyond visual art, I am also a playwright, theatre director, and actor.
