Artist Bio
Martina is an artist at MRC artWorks. She explores the subtle magic of life by drawing attention to how light, shadow, form and texture play together. Her art is themed around there being so much more to the world than what we see at first glance As someone who takes inspiration from French post-impressionism, Hayao Miyazaki and Frida Kahlo, a closer look at Martina’s art reminds the viewer that our familiar everyday world is made up of beautifully contrasting elements.
