Barbara Sala is an essentially self-taught artist who paints in a naive, folkart style. Her brightly painted works are filled with animals and people and magical and mystical symbols. These modern-primitive paintings evoke a time of innocense and childlike wonder in the world around us. Barbara is a storyteller on canvas. Yvon Daigle, founder and curator of the "Musee International d'art naif" states "Barbara Sala is one of the five best naive painters in Quebec and one of the most promising in the world, still to be discovered."
