Coral Dreaming – Martine Vanderspuy

Martine Vanderspuy’s Reef Series

Martine Vanderspuy has had a lifetime love affair with the sea, resulting in her aerial inspired resin art. Martine’s ‘coral reef’ paintings are inspired by our beautiful Australian reefs. Capturing the vibrantly dazzling rainbow of colour, and the magical waters. Preserving the reefs forever in a painting.
Through experimentation, she has mastered the difficult process of painting with resin, creating photo realistic work depicting the colours of the reef. Martine’s paintings inspire the feeling of movement and open a visual window onto the sea. Her bold compositions use the fluidity and translucency of resin to capture dazzling effects of light and water.

“I am inspired by the ocean and its reefs: its beauty, and tranquility. This multitude of moods is what I am trying to convey in my painting. I bring the energy of the sea to the viewer.”
