ABOUT
Whitney Salgado is a Latine digital painter and freelance illustrator. A graduate from the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design with a focus on Illustration and minor in Communication Design, they have called Milwaukee their home for over a decade. While Salgado prefers working digitally, they also often work with acrylic paint, ink and other traditional mediums. 

​

Their style has been heavily influenced from Art Nouveau, pop art, and those childhood mornings watching anime before school. Mental health, emotions, and identity are reoccurring themes in their surrealistic portraits. Playing with color is one of their favorite ways to pass the time. The fluid shapes you see in their work have different meanings in each piece and they enjoy hearing interpretations of them. Their goal is to make art that is relatable and believes art is a vehicle for community and connection.
