MARTE’s work is characterized by a balanced palette and soft brushstrokes accompanied by subtle glazes. These compositions have a certain meditative spirit, and their scenes are intended to convey an idea associated with a powerful experience. This is why the construction of the pictorial setting is essential to evoking that dreamlike vision. His works may include many themes, but they follow the same conceptual thread, which is clearly visible in all his paintings.
