The idea of this mono-type series lies in the pure interaction of colour, creating new fields of existence: a synesthetic encounter. These colourfields, experienced through the senses, might recall a memory of a particular song, a scent, a deep feeling, or a landscape in the viewer. Our postmodern living and rational thinking sometimes disable us from such deep body-conscious experience. In these pictures, Marta places particular emphasis on the visual manifestation of metonymy. Abstract expressionism and minimal art (“Less is more.”) inspired these works.
