Contemporary Figurative Oil Paintings

Artist Martina Shapiro

**SOLD to Calgary, AB.** **"Abstract Green Girl", original oil on canvas painting, 8" x 10 x 1 inches**
(20cm x 25cm x 2cm), on gallery wrapped canvas, sides are painted, so the painting does not need to be framed.

Fauvist abstract portrait of a girl in shades of green, pink, yellow and violet. Interesting, intense expression and a sense of movement, rich, vibrant colors and an interesting texture.

My artistic influences are Picasso, Matisse and Peter Max, among others. Each one of these 'girls' paintings is completely unique - they come entirely from my imagination, I do not use any models. I take a blank canvas and start painting withou 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.
