Unique Afghan artist who paints with salt
Toronto: If you search the internet, you will find dozens of pictures under the name “Bashir Sultani”, but all of them are made of salt. And that’s the skill of Bashir Sultani, an Afghan-Canadian
About his work, Bashir Sultani says that it is basically the same as “sand art” (making pictures from sand) but arranging the picture by arranging fine particles of salt is better than sand. More difficult
This is because crushed salt can hardly stay on a smooth surface and is more likely to break up.
He is now using colored salt to give his work a new look, but he says it is important to master it now to bring beauty to art.
Bashir Sultani is now on regular social media and in addition to Facebook and Instagram, he also runs a channel on YouTube where short videos of salt art are also posted.
