EDEN Astor Milan Salcedo
EDEN
“EDEN” or “garden of eden” is deeply rooted in all three major religions Christianity, Islam, Judaism. It is the place where all men are truly equal. May it be in physical form or spiritual form. We are alleviated from our earthly chores and all our battles are left behind. Spiritually and mythologically we are deeply connected to all elements of nature but eden is also the place where our hopes and beliefs come together. EDEN is paradise. it is the beginning and the end. nature in its highest and therefore simplest form.

ASTOR intends his pieces to be a visual journey for the soul, something for the observer to indulge and lose themselves in. Astor Milan Salcedo began his working life as a fashion/ portrait photographer, before progressing to an award winning career in documentary filmmaking. In 2004 he worked as a Creative Director in the world of fashion on commercials for Hugo Boss, Gucci and Swarovski. In 2009 he won the highest award in German television, Deutscher Fernsehpreis for his documentary ‘Die Bombe’. Driven by his passion for art, painting became his focus in 2012. Astor‘s abstract paintings and overpainted photographs centre on mankind and it‘s vital relation to nature. He is fascinated with our struggle for a balanced life and our constant pursuit to reach personal happiness. His work today shows an expression of his inner feelings. He paints by applying multiple layers, inviting the observer to dive into the colours and explore the shapes and forms on the canvas.
