MARTE (1990) - XXL • Thaw • NO RESERVE

This is a unique and original work by the artist MARTE, signed by hand on the back and with a certificate of authenticity included. This particular painting transcends landscape boundaries by sharing characteristics 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 contemplating the details in all their 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. That is why the construction of the pictorial setting is fundamental to evoke that dreamlike vision. Their works can include many themes but follow a single conceptual thread clearly observable in all their paintings.
