When he moved to Rome,Salvatore Emblema poetic and ideas got strongly influenced, but the real turning-point of his way of painting can be set after the meeting with the American businessman John Davison Rockfeller.

Struck by one of his artworks, Rockfeller invited him to New York, where Salvatore Emblema met Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko.

Following the steps of these two great masters and attending their classes, Emblema perfected his technique and created his very own personal taste.
