Contemporary Figurative Oil Paintings

Artist Martina Shapiro

**SOLD to Washington, DC, USA.** **"French Art Deco Woman", original oil on canvas painting, 8" x 10 x 1.5 inches** (on gallery wrapped canvas, sides are painted, so the painting does not need to be framed).
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.
detail painting continues around the sides, so you can hang the painting on a wall even without a frame. Frame is not included frame not included The photos show how the painting can look in different frames (it is sold without a frame). << Back to my art gallery All of Martina Shapiro's paintings as well as the photographs of her paintings are protected by copyright.
