Balance Drawing by Martine DF

architect MartineDF is a multidisciplinary artist. Her work can be catalogued into a CreativeLAB that intertwines various art disciplines. Martine’s work evolves around truth-seeking. Her imaginative and inquisitive mind is layered with existentialism and perception. She is fascinated by sensory and cognitive perception, and how we perceive the visible and invisible world around us. The way we perceive is processed by the sensory input and by what we know, both resulting in how we interpret or believe is truth. She challenges these two processes through imagination and curiosity with the language of her background in the Arts and Science. Reality becomes somewhat transformed and distorted. Her visual work is characterised by a style that is colourful and vibrant, balanced by the graphical abstraction of lines, curves, geometry and patterns. Martine strongly believes Art with a heart and soul is an instrument for an ambitious and infinite quest in finding ways to unfold, to reveal, and discover a little glimpse into life, the ‘real world’. It’s a tool for scratching the surface, and peeling off layers to find the ‘absolute truth’, bit by bit. Art piece by art piece.
