In a few years, Erik Salin has become THE reference of Custom in France and beyond our borders. He likes to divert objects from their main functions, and to mix different universes together.
Born in Paris in 1960, he first found his inspiration in American magazines, with enough talent to customize the guitars of great rockers and become the main preparator of Harley Davidson motorcycles: his unique paintings and original creations became his signature.
Influenced by the Pop Art movement, he naturally evolves towards sculpture, and acquires an international reputation with his "Capsule" collection, which denounces the consumerist desires of our society.
He then successfully hijacks car jerry cans to reinvent them in his ownway, as "Eau de parfum" for luxury brands.
