work

the inspiration for painting is to martine van leeuwen connected to the beauty and movement of nature.

martine grew up in new zealand.

playfully she examins the materiality of paint, for example by spreading pigment or flowing diluted paint across the canvas.

as her teacher once said about her paintings: ‘they have arisen as nature’.
