Khoshroo pursues his professional activity in Tehran and London. His first solo photography exhibition was in Azad Gallery in 2006. In 2013, Azad Gallery hosted the first solo show of Khoshroo's paintings. In the following years, he had solo exhibitions of his paintings in collaboration with the Azad Gallery and Shirin Gallery. His works were exhibited in a group exhibition at the Daniel Raphael Gallery in London In 2021.
Salman Khoshroo is known in Iran's art scene mainly for his single faces using fibers or loaded impastos. In both groups of his single faces, he uses bright colors and is reminiscent of the pop artists' works. Also, by expanding his works towards unconventional borders, he places them on the boundary between sculpture and painting. The origin of these single faces can be traced in the collection of this artist's early years. In the works mentioned above, Khoshroo created paintings that oscillate between abstraction and representation using thick paint layers.
In other experimental pieces, such as "Reshteye Mas-hoor" (2018), Khoshroo made figures by interweaving coloured electric wires. He has also expanded the range of his works to installation and environmental art. His willingness to work with unusual materials and tools has also led him to use electric moving motors.
