Although the meditation techniques of Buddhist teachings are an integral part of his creative practice, this month of fasting and silence also involved a complete exclusion from the outside world and from painting.

The exhibition The Whisper of the Brush presents the works of the Silence series, born out of the return from the ritual of retreat. Building from focused attention, from the naivety and simplicity of the mind to complexity, the paintings are psychological images: they evoke the rational, logical and spiritual perception of the viewer at the same time. Just like the way the works were born: with the whisper of a brush.

As a joint event to his exhibition The Whisper of the Brush, Venezuelan painter Zeus Salas offers a workshop entitled ONE BREATH, ONE BREATH, where participants can create their own works based on breathing techniques, philosophical and spiritual knowledge, as practiced by the painter himself.

Arepas dinner - Hadik session #1 / musical evening with painter Zeus Salas
Thursday, September 28, 2023, 6pm to 10pm

As part of his exhibition The Whisper of the Brush, Venezuelan painter Zeus Salas invites the audience to a musical voyage in the exhibition space of the Hadik Café.

A selection of live music curated by the painter plays as background music to the paintings he created during the retreat, with the tunes allowing the audience to experience the paintings at an even deeper level, with more senses.

The tracks take the viewer-listener on a journey of reception from classical music to Latin American tunes drawn from the painter's cultural roots. About the artist Zeus Milenko Steven Salas was born in Venezuela.

His works are personally inspired, emotionally rich, while his visual world is populated with strong symbols and mythical characters. He has exhibited in Paris, Buenos Aires and Budapest, and many of his works are in private collections from Costa Rica to Hong Kong. He is also active as a performance artist, frequently collaborating with brands, magazines and art events.
