Salvita De Corte (b.1990) is a Bali-born artist and actor of Indonesian, German, and Indian descent. Raised in a creative environment by artist parents, De Corte began painting in an act of catharsis following the passing of her father, himself a painter, when she inherited his studio and the brushes and blank canvases left in his wake. Ever since, she has approached painting as a means to explore relationships and the emotions they engender.

She paints portraits and bodies alone and intertwined, their identities composites of characters she’s encountered at key stages of her life, and their faces and figures imbued with and abstracted by the feelings that arise in the liminal flow state. These feelings are echoed in De Corte’s choice of color combinations.
