Flora Saldivar

Flora Saldivar is a formalist artist, born in Mexico City and currently residing in Northwest Arkansas. She worked as a designer in the advertising industry for many years and then transitioned into a full-time artist. With an extensive background in visual design, Flora’s paintings are propelled by the spontaneous movement of paint itself and the way it soaks into raw canvas. Her formalist approach thrives on the exploration of color and non-traditional mediums. Most of Flora’s paintings feature a proprietary blend of colors she developed along with her husband, which allows the pigments to soak through the raw canvas in a very specific way, creating a distinctive effect on the canvas. All of Flora’s pieces share something in common; they start with a very loose plan, and then they take a turn into their very own journey.
