Painter of self-taught formation, Manuel Salinas is one of the maximum representatives of the Spanish abstraction of the last twenty-five years. His first exhibition dates from 1962, and since then he has exhibited his work in Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Colombia, Sweden, the United States, Serbia, France, Greece, Bulgaria and Mexico. In 2003 two retrospectives were dedicated to him, one in Seville, organized by the Caja San Fernando, and another traveling around Europe, with Sofia as a starting point, organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He has works in the Reina Sofia Museum, the La Caixa Foundation, the Andalusian Center of Contemporary Art, the Contemporary Art Museums of Valladolid, Madrid and Tenerife, the Vazquez Diaz Museum and in the collections of the Bank of Spain, Olivetti, Argentaria, Endesa, BBV and Avianca (Barranquilla, Colombia). The artist also owns two works included in the book by the critic Francisco Calvo Serraller "The hundred best works of the twentieth century" (Madrid; TF and Sociedad Estatal España Nuevo Milenio, 2001).
