I am Martina, a painter from the southern area of Munich.
My work focuses on abstract painting of landscapes and botany.
As a geologist I have explored nature, as an artist I deal with nature on an emotional level.
The landscapes I paint are expressionistically modified. They are bright, colourful, luminous and captivating. They are pleasant places of well-being. Far away from the real world. Untroubled, unburdened and calm. Places of desire without evil and at the same time strange and unreachable. If you take the time and get involved with my paintings, they offer distance from everyday life and lead to new reflections. They stimulate creativity and lead one into new worlds. The soul can relax.
I myself spend a lot of time “outdoors”. Nature always gives me new inspiration. Its diversity always inspires new creative processes.
In painting I prefer oil paints because they do not change their colour when drying. They have a sensual feel and I can reflect on my paintings more intensively, as the long drying time prevents me from working too quickly. I have a certain inclination towards ornamentation and often use groupings of dots and lines. These elements lead to harmonisation and bring the painting together.

I believe that poetic, special, atmospheric and peculiar painting creates the possibility for the spectator to leave the present aside. One can lose oneself in it for a moment.
My intention is to invite the spectator to let his imagination flow freely and to step out of the here and now for a moment.
It is possible to let the soul dangle meditatively while looking at paintings and to explore new ways and spaces.
