Jim Salvati, 1957 | Conceptual Figurative painter

To look at a Jim Salvati painting, is to experience a snapshot into the soul of his subjects.

Each person portrayed in his work, which is thick and textured with oil paint, is telling a story about the life of the person, the emotion of that moment in time, their world surrounding them, and a warm sense of the human condition and its uniqueness.

"We all have stories,” Salvati says, "and I like telling them".

"Smile" has become a popular standard since its original use in Chaplin's film.

It was used as the theme song on NBC-TV'S The Jerry Lewis Show from 1967-69.
