Martin Åkesson

Martins favorite colour is blue and you find that colour in many of his paintings. In this category the paintings mostly contain different colours of blue.

This is where today meets the past. The paintings are of people living today but the styles are inspired by hundred years old art movements such as expressionism, cubism and impressionism.

These five paintings, made in 2014, are very much inspired by Claude Monets water lily painting series. But instead of Martin sitting and painting in the famous flower garden at Giverny, he has made these at home with Monets paintings in his mind.

Colours. Lots of them. But at second sight; do they look like faces?

The Floral Series contains five pantings made with inspiration from impressionism. The fine colour combination of grey, purple and yellow is what keeps them together. The collection, made in 2015 and 2016, exhibited at the art market event In The Making on June 10, 11 and 12 in Stockholm.
