Agnès Lucie Martin is a French artist who believes that to paint is to relate to matter while trying to reveal an essence that escapes. Creating in series, her works delve into varying themes including telluric currents, elementals such as fire or water, the fragility of shrubs, as well as the specific presence of painting through its materiality. Martin often employs thick medium that can easily assume transparent backgrounds or Indian ink that is partially covered with oils.
