Dreaming in Colour – Artwork by Caroline Martin

Dreaming in Colour – Artwork by Caroline Martin

‘Dreaming in Colour’ is an original mixed media artwork on wood panel by East Sussex artist Caroline Martin. Part of her Mindset collection, this intimate piece reflects Caroline’s expressive approach to colour, movement and layered mark-making.

Caroline’s work is deeply influenced by water, sky, music and the natural world. From her home studio in East Sussex, she develops each piece intuitively, allowing colour, rhythm and texture to guide the composition as it evolves. Rather than following a fixed plan, she works organically, building up layers and responding to the artwork until it reaches its natural point of completion.

As part of the Mindset collection, ‘Dreaming in Colour’ carries a sense of imagination, openness and emotional freedom. The title suggests a world led by colour and instinct, while leaving room for the viewer to interpret the piece in their own way. This balance between expression and reflection is central to Caroline’s work, giving each artwork a strong individual character while retaining a sense of calm.

Measuring 20 x 20cm, ‘Dreaming in Colour’ is one of the more intimate works in the collection. Its compact scale makes it especially versatile, whether displayed as a standalone piece, grouped with other artworks, or used to introduce colour and contemporary abstraction into a smaller space.

Caroline Martin is known for creating one-off artworks that combine expressive energy with a serene quality. Her layered approach encourages a slower look, with different marks, surfaces and relationships between colour revealing themselves over time.

Available at KATA in Tunbridge Wells, ‘Dreaming in Colour’ is a distinctive choice for collectors looking for original contemporary abstract art in a smaller format.
