His family originates from Naxos Island in Kyklades combo, Greece. Two members of the Saltis family, Great uncles Antonios and Gerasimos lived until 1915 as monks and icon makers in the mount Athos or Agio Oros, the monastic center of the Greek Orthodox Church, a state-within-state and a living museum and spiritual center of Greece . Emmanuel’s Grandfather Georgios Saltis, and Aunt Irini Salti-Mihail [painters and artisans] provided Emmanuel his first impressions of art, having exposed him to beautiful painting and artistry. With studies in decorative art, the history of art in different cultures, the art of sculpture and materials transformation, jewelry design, furniture styles as well as world religions, the artist within Emmanuel emerged. He has made several personal shows of art at cultural centers in Greece and throughout Europe. He has taken part in collaborative showings with other artists as well as numerous family art shows with work on porcelain, canvas, wood, glass, oil and pastel colors, water colors, subjects from nature, and of course his masterings in egg tempera, the Icons. Emmanuel's icon making and oil painting (landscape, human portraits and life scenes) are having the basics of the Byzantine technique with influences from western painting. Born into a family of painters he grew up in an artistic climate allowing influences from this up-bringing to be ever present in his work, rooted back to his earliest presentation [age 12]. Major art works of Emmanuel can be seen in several churches throughout Greece and in personal collections throughout Europe. He and his aunt Irini are currently the last painters remaining in the family’s blood-line.
