This large oil on canvas of considerable size captures a significant moment in Salmaso's artistic production. The work features a complex figurative and abstract composition, rich in symbolism and narrative, with elements reminiscent of dreamlike landscapes, human figures, and celestial forms, all expressed in a vibrant and dynamic color palette. Its imposing scale makes it a focal point for any space.

Salmaso's work cannot be fully understood without considering his training in the Venetian artistic milieu. The artist was a student and assistant of two key figures of the Italian twentieth century: the master Virgilio Guidi and the renowned abstract painter Giuseppe Santomaso. This influence is reflected in Salmaso's ability to blend the exploration of light, form, and space, creating a personal and distinctive language. "New Horizons" demonstrates his mastery in combining meaningful figurative painting with abstract elements and powerful expressiveness.
