Farís Saleh

Farís Saleh is an artist of the heart, a dreamer who breathes life into forgotten treasures of the sea. A self-taught visionary with an innate gift for creativity, he has wandered through the artistic landscapes of New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, and across Europe, first as an actor and model, now as a sculptor of memories.

His artistic journey has been enriched by his deep fascination with the human experience. Studying anthropology, drama, psychology, sociology, music, and art, he has explored the intricate connections between people, culture, and creativity. These disciplines have shaped his understanding of emotion, movement, and storytelling—elements that now manifest in every piece he creates.

His love affair with oyster shells began in the simplest of moments—gathered around tables with family and friends, sharing laughter, stories, and the briny taste of the ocean. Each shell, once discarded, held a whisper of the past, a trace of joy, a fleeting instant of connection. Unable to ignore their quiet beauty, he began collecting them, thousands upon thousands, each one imbued with the spirit of those who shared in their discovery.

With time, patience, and an unshakable vision, Farís unlocked a way to transform these relics of the sea into art—melding nature’s raw elegance with his own boundless creativity. Now, living between the Hamptons and Florida, he draws inspiration from the rhythm of the waves, the golden light on driftwood, the delicate shimmer of pearls, and the endless textures of the ocean’s gifts.

His work is more than art; it is storytelling in its purest form. With each piece, he weaves together the organic beauty of oyster shells, coral, pearls, and reclaimed materials, giving them new purpose as exquisite wall art, sculptures, light sconces, and decorative wonders. Every creation is a love letter to nature, a keepsake of time, a portal to a memory waiting to be cherished once more.

As his artistry evolves, so too does his passion. Farís Saleh is not just crafting objects—he is reviving the poetry of the sea, turning moments into masterpieces, and sharing his ever-growing vision with the world, one luminous shell at a time.
