ABSTRACT GIRL Art Deco pink ORIGINAL PAINTINGs Martina

Sensual, dramatic abstract portrait of a woman. She appears feminine and confident, beautiful and classy. The ink line drawing is spontaneous and raw and very expressive. The acrylic paint is bright and vibrant and gives the painting texture. The heavy weight paper shows through in many places providing additional texture and interest. This painting is on paper so you will have to have it framed (it is sold unframed).

I am a full time, sucessful professional artist, member of the FEDERATION OF CANADIAN ARTISTS. I enjoy the freedom and flexibility of selling my art directly through Ebay and through my own website, but I also exhibit regularly in shows and art galleries and have been published in newspapers and magazines in Canada and the USA. My larger oil paintings are included in many private, corporate as well as public collections around the world, including the Supreme Court of Canada (click here to see) .

Each one of my girl paintings is completely unique - they come entirely from my imagination, I do not use any models. I start painting without any preconceived notion of what I am going to paint. The shapes and colors just suggest themselves to me, I do not think about them. This spontaneity results in paintings that radiate strong emotion, personality and energy.

Note: The actual colors are vibrant and bright and there are many subtle hues that may not be visible on your computer monitor. The colors you see depend on your monitor's settings. The painting's colors depend on the color and intensity of the light that illuminates the painting.

Painting is signed on the front and on the back by me, the artist and a signed Cerificate of Authenticity is included. This is an original painting - unique - if you win it, you will be the only person in the world that has this piece! There is only one original!

• You have wonderfully expressive brushwork and color reminiscent of the postimpressionists Gaughin and Van Gogh. Do I also see a hint/influence of the 17th Century Dutch masters? Rembrandt, Vermeer. You have successfully combined these influences with your talent to come up with unique style. Keep up the good work!
