Linnea Martina | Canadian Visual Artist. Alberta’s vast mountains & never ending prairie give her inspiration “Love for the unspoken words of nature”
MessageLinnea is a graduate from the Alberta University of the Arts with a BFA majoring in Jewellery & Metalsmithing. She is a Canadian Visual Artist, born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, who now resides in the small Towne of Langdon (The Good Luck Towne). Where friends are easily made and living is simple as it can get with the same feeling of freedom you felt as a kid growing up when the street lights were your call to get back home. Linnea transitioned to painting on a whim of a friend that was going to take her artwork sell at a festival and the rest is left in paint! Her painting inspiration derives from Alberta’s vast mountains and never ending prairie; “Love for the unspoken words of nature”. Linnea
Linnea's work is in the form of contemporary landscapes, abstract vibrations and snapshot details of nature. You can see her work in a variety of different mediums: Watercolour, Acrylic and the ancient and re-emerging medium of Encaustic. Encaustic and Watercolour being her primary mediums she works in. Linnea uses the attributes of Encaustic to add complexity within the surface of her paintings to create an illusion of movement, stirring a memory or an emotion for the viewer. Carefully building layers of depth with her watercolours, transitions of slight subtleties within her encaustic work, her work ever changing.
Natures unseen vibrations and energy. Linnea doesn’t necessarily always ponder what is happening above ground but below, seismic happenings! Reflecting on space, time, relationships, interactions between people and energy. Along with studying the properties of making her own pigments (from nature) in watercolour and pastels, again she brings new energy in “living” paintings from hand forged pigments.
Her intention; to spark personal recollections in the viewer from an unconventional perspective, carefully building layers upon layers, leaving a translucent history, using depth colour, luminescence, sculptural textures and surface transitions, transitions of slight sodalities. Her work will change every time you study it.
Today you'll find Linnea in her studio painting, newly dabbling in ceramics. Linnea’s work can be seen at Guest showings in Galleries within Alberta and a constant showing at juried Art Show & Sales. Linnea’s is an active member of the Riverview Artists group & Leighton Centre. You can find Linnea's CV .

Statement
My work is in the form of abstract landscapes and snapshots of details of nature. Natures unseen vibrations and energy. I don't necessarily always ponder what is happening above ground but below, seismic happenings! Reflecting on space, time, relationships, interactions between people and energy.
My intention, to spark personal recollections in the viewer from an unconventional perspective, carefully building layers leaving a translucent history, (obsession with layers!) using depth colour, luminescence, sculptural textures and surface transitions, transitions of slight sodalities. This work will change every time you study it.
