THE SALT OF LIFE (2025) By SLART - A Tribute to José Mujica

About the artwork "The Salt of Life" (2025) by SLART

In one of his final interviews, the great José Mujica, former President of Uruguay, shared a simple yet profound thought: "One knows that death is inevitable. And perhaps it's like the salt of life."

This piece is a tribute to that incredible wisdom and to the man himself. Known as the "world's most humble president," Mujica was a leader who chose to live on a small farm, drive an old Beetle, and donate 90% of his salary to charity. He showed the world that true wealth isn't about what you own, but about the richness of your life and how you serve others.

This painting captures a moment of that quiet strength. It's a reminder that embracing our own mortality, like a pinch of salt, is what gives our lives flavour, urgency, and meaning.

It’s a piece for those who believe in a better way of living, a more humble way of leading, and the simple, beautiful truths that connect us all. Let it be a conversation starter in your home and a small tribute to a giant of humanity.

High-Quality Canvas Art Prints, Built to Last.

This isn't your average flimsy canvas. We use a thick, sturdy material (344 gsm weight, 17.5 mil thick) that feels solid and is made to last for years. The colours will stay bright and true, so your art looks just as good as the day you get it. Just pick your size and frame to make it perfect for your space.

The Finishing Touch: A Floating Frame

Give your art a professional look with our floater frames. They're made from solid poplar wood and designed to make your canvas appear to be floating, which really makes the artwork pop. The frame has a slim profile from the front (1 cm) but a nice depth from the side (4 cm). Available in black, white, or oak to match any style.

Hanging your new art is simple. It arrives with all the hardware already installed and soft rubber bumpers on the back to protect your walls and keep the piece hanging straight. All you have to do is find the perfect spot and put it up.
