Caroline Martin | Tide Pools

This framed original painting by Abstract Painter Caroline Martin was created using Acrylic paint, mixed media and watercolor inks. Embellished with copper leaf accents on premium deep edge cotton canvas. Tide Pools is a one of kind piece.

Abstract Artist Caroline Martin draws influence from the natural forms that have surrounded her over the course of her life. From her childhood growing up in Botswana, the natural textures which emerge at the coast and fluid movement of water itself is a consistent theme in Caroline’s work.

Describing her approach as ‘intuitive’ painting for Caroline is an immersive sensory experience. She focuses intensely for lengthy periods of time whilst listening to music; letting the song carry her to a creative zone as she translates her experience of natural forms onto the blank canvas.

This sensory element comes across in the fluid movement of her broad brush strokes and her abrupt staccato watercolour ink splatters from which a sense of rhythm is derived. Extending this sensory immersion to the eyes of the viewer, Caroline’s use of bright white strokes layered behind bold black ones alongside the refined application of neon paint and copper leaf evoke visual intrigue. Texture is achieved through layering different consistencies of acrylic paint and watercolor based ink. Adding yet another layer of moving texture when it comes to her framed work, she chooses to use reflective glass.

Now calling East Sussex her home Caroline Martin regularly exhibits at art exhibitions across South East England and has built relationships with clients and collectors from Singapore to the Isle of White.

This original painting is framed in a custom made wooden tray frame and is available to view and collect at KATA Jewellery’s Royal Tunbridge Wells boutique.
