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 are aimed at conveying an idea associated with a strong experience. Therefore, the construction of the pictorial setting is fundamental to evoke that dreamlike vision. Their works can include many themes but follow the same conceptual thread clearly observable in all their paintings.
