Over the years Martin has found his point of balance by associating art with energy. As a full-time painter Martin's paintings are a reflection of his inner world. Martin takes us on a Zen journey which reveals a search for beauty and harmony in muffled tones, with serene, uncluttered compositions. In 1995, Martin founded the Médit'Art workshop, where he teaches modern and intuitive painting. Martin has also moderated art therapy workshops for amateur and professional painters, in the deserts of the United States and in the tropics of Hawaii. Inspired by his travels, Martin creates canvases imbued with Asian culture. Martin Beau Pré has met with Buddhist monks in Thailand and Japan who have become a great source of inspiration. Martin believes the principles of Japanese art are sacred. The secret which lends power to his art is this: the void is to be embellished, but never filled. Create the maximum effect with the minimum means. We find works showing flowering cherry-trees, mountains, Buddha's faces, geishas, and symbols and writings inspired by Zenga. Nothing is left to chance; there is a reason behind every detail. Overall Size: 48 x 48 in. #1742 Location G
