Silent Settings of Serenity: In the studio with Natalia Gonzalez Martin
Historical narratives are captured in a state of surrealist transformations in the work of London-based painter Natalia Gonzalez Martin. Rooted in art historical references and poetry, Martin seeks to illustrate these various textual accounts through the medium of paint and visual storytelling. Having studied Fine Art at City and Guilds of London Art School (an institution celebrated for its craftsmanship), and growing up alongside creative family members in a bucolic setting in Northern Madrid, has resulted in Martin’s distinctive use of paint and hands-on approach to the medium. Within her paintings, depth becomes hypothetical and limitless, where paint application and a selective colour palette produce the superficial environments within which her figures sit, notably flat and void of shadows.
