His separate interests include haute couture, embroidery, as well as French crafts such as straw harnessing, among others.

He collaborated several times with director Ulysse Di Gregorio and with French choreographer David Drouard. In 2018, at the invitation of Swedish choreographer Johan Inger, Salvador Mateu Andujar was responsible for the costume design of a new creation of Igor Stravinsky's ballet "Petrushka" with Les Ballets de Monte Carlo. He was then invited by Jean-Christophe Maillot, artistic director and choreographer Les Ballets de Monte Carlo, to design the costumes for his creation "Core Meu" (2019).
