Marta Betancourt's Statement

Updated: Dec 29, 2020

Marta works with the artist movement techniques of abstraction and surrealism, experimenting on different surfaces on wood, paper, and canvas.


Based on her experiences, she has always been interested in; the subject spirituality from various points of view trying to find answers to the universal questions that arise through her works.


The unconscious is expressed in her work using colours, symbolic elements, figures, letters, numbers, and animals; that represents a spiritual sense for many ancient cultures of Egyptian, Indu, African, Asian, Aztec, Mayan, Inca and amongst others.


She is fascinated by the spiritual language that these millenary cultures encompass in addition, to the scientific studies that connect to the unconscious and meditation; it releases a meaning to achieve spiritual development.


From her work, she has also applied meditation as part of the process in the development of her work. However, in some cases, the painting intuitively turns into the act of painting expressing a healing process in her life that she experienced.


As part of her process, she has been exploring visual effects to her paintings; giving a more abstract and surrealist perspective feeling through the spiritual emotions from the use of vibrant colours.


She is influenced by artists such as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Hilma Klint, Agnes Martin, Georgiana Houghton, amongst others.
