Contemporary Fauve Portrait Oil Paintings

Artist Martina Shapiro

**SOLD to NY, USA.** **"Art Deco Girl With Blue Lips", original oil on canvas painting, 8 x 10 x 1.5 inches**

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.
