Brian Sal Corral
Instructor
Sal is the current Education Director and former instructor at the Pacific Art League in Palo Alto. He has many years teaching both children and adults, and his professional art career is also extensive in many disciplines.
With paintings in collections around the world and a growing list of international exhibitions the work of Brian Sal Corral is both in high demand and ever-growing. Starting as a stylized portrait painter almost 20 years ago, Sal's work has grown into his mature style by expanding the intrinsic unseen qualities of life that drew him to portraiture. Those unseen qualities are now the center of his paintings, and the people that inspire the flowing energy of life seen in his work are the bridge for the viewer to enter their world.
