Artwork By Paolo Salmaso

The ARCH • MINIMAL series is a photographic exploration of the silent dialogue between geometric forms and the surrounding void. By utilizing infrared photography, I strip the urban landscape of its chromatic distractions, reducing the built environment to its purest essence: a world of high‑contrast textures, deep tonal shifts, and luminous whites. This “infrarealism” reveals a reality beyond human perception, granting the structures a timeless, monumental quality.

Central to this project is the use of extreme low‑angle perspectives. This deliberate choice decontextualizes the architecture from its everyday surroundings. By isolating buildings against a pitch‑black infrared sky, I transform functional structures into abstract monoliths. The resulting compositions emphasize scale, rhythm, and order, inviting viewers to experience a sense of elevation and harmony within the raw geometry of modern design.

OUR CONCEPT

Written By Joelcy Kay – Curator

Every piece of art, crafts, or textiles, hanging on my walls or ceiling tells a tiny passage of my life. Most of it was acquired during my travels. Many of these treasures are damaged whether because they were broken on arrival, as the pieces were tightly stuffed into my backpack, or weathered by the unforgiving Florida tropical humidity. But in the end, they are my precious processions and they are part of the stories I tell. It feels good to have rugs hanging from the ceiling, masks on the walls, and drinking my morning coffee thinking of the mugs’ tale. The point here is that art has a lot to offer each one of us; ART IS VERY PERSONAL!

The NO MIDDLEMAN ART GALLERY offers that personal experience as the individual has the opportunity to buy the art from the creator and by doing so a new event to remember is born. When you hang the work of art on your wall there is a story behind it; an artist you now know and follow. And instead of the usual “I purchased this at “WWW(BIG BIG ART STORE).COM” the connection enriches the emotional value of your art piece.

WHY DISPLAY YOUR ART AT THE NO MIDDLEMAN ART GALLERY?

The gallery is designed to connect the art seekers and collectors with artists directly. We offer artists a COMMISSION FREE / CONTRACT FREE online platform to sell their creations and engage with their clients using portfolio pages that are engaging with large images and a dramatic black background.

NO MIDDLEMAN is a boutique ART GALLERY; individuals browsing our archives and portfolio pages are relaxed, not pressured to sign up, agree with website terms, or maneuvering out of pop-up windows.
