Elisa SalasElisa Salas is a Mexican visual artist whose multidisciplinary work spans calligrams, sculpture, and digital art. Deeply rooted in her love for literature, painting, and drawing, her practice merges these elements into poetic visual narratives that explore the emotional and symbolic power of words and images.Salas began her artistic training in San Miguel de Allende and later studied at the renowned Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara, Italy. Her work draws inspiration from mythology, memory, and literature—particularly the “cursed poets” of the 19th century—fueling a desire to "set words free from books." This intention is powerfully expressed in pieces like From Cage to Bird, a sculpture depicting a girl with a hummingbird-shaped hole in her chest, a metaphor for emotional longing and release.Young girls often appear in her work as central figures, embodying both vulnerability and inner strength. Through them, Salas explores themes of healing, transformation, and self-reflection, aiming to empower the feminine spirit and offer pathways toward emotional recovery. Her art invites viewers into an intimate world where poetry takes shape and introspection becomes a form of resilience.
