Born in Aijic Jalisco, Salvador began creating art at a young age. While in primary school, his artwork was part of a countrywide advertising contest for the soft drink Sprite. He won third place and that was all it took to get him hooked on creating art. He began drawing whenever he could, motivated by contests.

As the years past, he was influenced by other artists to incorporate painting into his artists’ toolkit. He was immediately beguiled by the beauty of paints and brushes and their power to create realism.
