Reflejos Otonal, Salvador Caballero, (1943 - 2006) Original painting Salvador Caballero Reflejos Otonal

Salvador Caballero, (1943 - 2006) was one of many self-taught painters of whom it could be said that painting was in his blood. In studying the work and life of Caballero, only one influential predecessor in his history can be cited: his uncle, Vincente del Olmo, a serious painter whom Caballero remembered fondly and studied with for several years. Over time, Caballero perfected his talent and evolved into a master painter, capturing the essence of Mediterranean life from Spanish courtyards to Barcelona streets to countryside farmhouses to lake scenes. Caballero began his professional career as an illustrator and designer of book and magazine covers. This occupation helped him acquire the agility and precise aptitude for drawing. Caballero’s keen drawing ability allowed him to work in a wide range of themes such as portraits and still lifes as well as his famous landscapes.
