About

Salvatore Gullifa (b. 1978, Sydney, Australia) is a distinguished photographer and artist currently based in Amsterdam. Working with film and mixed media, he is best known for his evocative seascape series, which combine traditional photographic techniques with shellac and gold leaf. His practice explores themes of belonging, racism, and a sense of place, often shaped by his own life experiences.

Salvatore’s major projects include Before the Day Goes, a seascape series reflecting on identity and exclusion, and Thorned and Palmed, which explores themes of loss and anticipation. His work has been influenced by mentorships with acclaimed photographers including Vanessa Winship, George Georgiou, Raymond Meeks, Adrianna Ault, and Israel Ariño.

He has exhibited at The Gallery Club Presents – The Living Room (2020) alongside Iwan Baan, Emily Bates, Milan Gies, and Sem Langendijk. His work is held in private collections in the Netherlands and Australia, and he has completed artist residencies in Indre, France, deepening his practice and perspective.
