Original Paintings
Contemporary abstract paintings by Martina Shapiro
Female figure, portrait, landscape, flower, and Jewish paintings in vibrant colour.
Artist Statement
Bold colour, expressive form, and emotionally charged contemporary painting
My paintings are influenced mostly by Fauvism and Expressionism, but also by Art Deco, Pop-Art and the old masters.
I love to create art and like to use expressive, vibrant color, abstraction and distortions to portray human emotions and passions.
My favorite artists are Picasso, Matisse, Chagall, Egon Schiele, Mark Rothko, Peter Max, Rubens and El Greco, among others.
