... The beginning of Salim Khader, as any other artist started at an early age and his process is unique and difficult. He stared as any other teenager influenced by the comics. If we illustrated his evolution, his first attempts, we would see his dobtful steps and we coul summarize it in straight endless line, but with a great command and excellent colorful achievement. Even before initiating at School of Fine Arts, and assimilating the basic knowledge of drawing, composition, form and color, which powers his tireless searchin in which from the beginning, we can distinguish the human figure, not only in the academic sense but in the sense of a tragic deformation until getting to the most extreme abstraction, till getting to see what he shows nowadays. The interwoven vertical and horizontal straight line, which seems to us as a limitation. However, Salim, as a persistent artist has a wide road to go. Only the time and his talent will tell us.

- Sunlight illuminates not only our bodies and other objects around us and, make them visible, locatable to our narrow field of visual perception, but it is also a vehicle of mysterious information,
beyond our normal capacity of decoding.

- The issuer or the repeater ( of the great current ) is there on high, dominating everything, sending their influence constantly, outside their presence, in the dark we can only keep us asleep, longing for his return our life is lost in their cycles. 

- Of a mysterious nature still is its most subtle influence, more deeply intelligent, which has the power to transmit powerful data direct to us. to grasp must be decoded and for this you must have a key of access, Although be surrounded by information, who does not have the proper key, nothing will perceive.

- Perception is a program that can be updated through meditative processes. Only by cultivating a empathic conscience It can develop in a natural way, allowing us access to restorative currents of the conscience about the real nature of human existence. We will advance vertically, only penetrating reality through the deepening of consciousness about itself. Because the keys are called truths and the road that leads to them is called disillusionment.

- The issue is to awaken to the true reality of things, Of its content, order, sense And its ultimate function. Only this way, A person can go up the current Until the true origin of everything.

- Reality feeds on what gives the issuer of the great current, this food consists of general and specific data for each component of our environment, in us, these data are reflected by the body, defining our material vehicles.

- Our fund of reality is the same for all vehicles materials or not, the perception makes a difference, the filter of the information that feeds the database of our consciences. If our perception is not authorized or qualified to detect, translate process and reflect the thousands of data that constitute each component of reality, never may decode all the information, therefore their reality will reduce, but in depth of information, of processed information. Our reality resulting has a low level of data processing.

- A conscience in connection with the Supreme truth, receives and reflects many more data, his vision of our reality it exceeds the natural limits Accessing a broader reality More deep and crisp, in a certain way more real.

- There are consciences that they inhabit in very varied realities but they are move in the same background of reality, In The horizontal of the matter and The vertical of the spirit, we coexist, Sharing data, But sometimes very few, Although the range of perception of some consciences is very broad even his reflection is perceived by realities more limited.
