until 31.10. | #4747ARTatBerlin | Galerie Brockstedt shows from Thursday, 11 September 2025 the solo exhibition “Love is Pop” by the artist SALUSTIANO.
Born in Seville in 1965, SALUSTIANO focuses in his artistic practice on a few, powerful recurring visual elements. His symbolic motifs act like precise torpedoes – each directed to evoke a unique and personal emotional response in the viewer. His minimalist compositions are clear, bold and deeply expressive.

His reduced colour palette – filled with spiritual resonance – contributes to a sense of transcendence, inviting contemplation. These tones are often considered sacred across various religions, and for SALUSTIANO they form the spiritual backbone of the viewing experience. For him, no work is complete until it has been seen, felt, and internalized by a viewer. His paintings are “completed” again and again through each encounter around the world.

SALUSTIANO has exhibited internationally in recent years and received a wide array of accolades and media attention. A major moment came in spring 2024, when he created the official poster image for Holy Week in his native city of Seville. His depiction of the resurrected Christ went viral within minutes, reaching over 22 million views on the platform X and appearing in The Sunday Times, BBC, Der Spiegel, El País, Le Figaro, Daily Mail, CBS News, CNN, and others. The image became a global topic of debate and analysis.

This overwhelming response reflects the artist’s core intention: to move people emotionally, to spark connection, and to leave no one indifferent. SALUSTIANO’s aim is to speak to everyone – wherever they are – through the power of image.
