“When someone asks me about my practice I struggle to find the words because my work is a replacement of language. Articulation has never been my strong suit but I always found a way to stand out, mostly by sudden, short lived moments of magic. My work is a direct correlation to the moments of magic I've expressed throughout my life commonly described as, silent but deadly, overlooked but remembered, uneducated but smart. This is how I've felt moving through life until I started painting in 2020. I've realized the past few years as I continue to strengthen my practice that this magic has been embedded in me the whole time, it's not for me to store away for the next magical moment. When I started showing last year I slowly developed comfort in wearing my magic on my sleeve while meeting new friends and mentors who encouraged me to continue to work. As my art has gone through many transformations, I've reached a place that feels true, honest and reveals who I want to become. I create this work to change energy and give the viewer the courage to look inward."

Artist Caity Salamanca found herself to be an introverted observer as a child. She experienced communication through words difficult, she might go so far to say she thought it was dull and simply unappealing. Eventually she found her form of communication through drawing. This was the beginning of her creative development and perspective of the world, which is now expressed by sculptural painting. She explored various pathways of art, such as ceramics and photography all of which have strengthened her work. She practiced several different styles of painting before she developed her unique voice that embodies all of her favorite techniques that she has accumulated over the years, from smooth blends of color to thick, chewy texture. The action of mark making mirror an internal language that has been built up over a lifetime of experiences, observations, and intuition. As a self taught artist, she takes great pride in the notable achievements she has accomplished in the first year of showing her work, such as publications in British Vogue magazine and the inclusion in the prestigious exhibition, Made In California 2024 and many more.
