Society of Heraldic Arts, heraldic artist

I am a member as a heraldic artist of the Society of Heraldic Arts having passed their artistic selection tests.

Probably, I have had the honor of being the first Spanish artist accepted within it and, perhaps, the first of all in the Spanish-speaking world.

Dr. Antonio Salmeron, artistic style

Dr. A. Salmerón, an heraldic style clear, simbolic and methodical

Five college degrees from four different universities and a long experience serving patrons from different cultures and traditions is the base of my heraldic practice. My wide range of knowledge and broad praxis are factors of my exuberant creativity. With a blend of strict adherence to tradition whilst hand drawing and an artistic combination of digital imaging procedures, I astoundingly «brings symbols to life».

My artistic style combines hand and digital process and could be drawn with 3 terms: clear, symbolic and methodical.

Clear because his creations transmit energy and vital force to the owner, he believe that a coat of arms should be a source of light and joy and an expression of freedom.

Symbolic because a coat of arms must be a representation of its bearer, his/her ideals, goals, motivations or history.

Finally, my heraldic creation methodology is founded on the science of heraldry and is a guarantee of a professional work.
