MARTE - Virgin River • XL - No Reserve

This is a unique and original work by the artist MARTE, signed by hand on the back and with an included certificate of authenticity. This painting in particular transcends the barriers of landscape by sharing features of surrealism and approaching conceptual art. It offers a new vision in contemporary abstract art with nods to abstract expressionism. The XXL format of the painting is ideal for contemplative viewing of all its details in their full splendor; it works very well in galleries and modern interiors.

MARTE's work is characterized by a balanced palette and soft brushstrokes accompanied by subtle glazes. They are compositions with a meditative spirit, and their scenes aim to convey an idea associated with a strong experience. Therefore, the construction of the pictorial setting is fundamental to evoke that dreamlike vision. Their works may include many themes but follow the same conceptual thread that is clearly observable in all their paintings.
