Cherie Salinas

Cherie Salinas is a self-taught artist with a deep-rooted passion for creativity, evident from a young age. Her work spans a variety of mediums, including oil, acrylic, and innovative techniques like melting crayons on canvas. Salinas explores the human form, animals, and vibrant subjects like luscious fruit, creating pieces that evoke a spectrum of emotions from serene peacefulness to delicate darkness. Her paintings often combine bold, bright colors with darker tones, blending soft strokes and textured elements within a single composition. Influenced by Monet’s mastery of color mixing and Van Gogh’s textured techniques, Salinas crafts landscapes and portrayals of mysterious women that invite varied interpretations—one viewer might see a sunrise, while another perceives a sunset. Her dynamic approach to subject matter and style reflects her belief in the subjective nature of art, where each piece resonates uniquely with its audience.
