Karl Martens talks to Cathy Sayers about his work and his forthcoming exhibition 'All of a Feather II' at Cricket Fine Art, Chelsea, London from 29th October - 9th November 2013
I am speechless. I am so impressed. I realized how much I want my life to ressemble this. Having a beautiful art atelier and just create from observing nature ❤️
In May of this year, I got the chance to see his work in Stockbridge. It was unbelievable. There's something so captivating by his brush strokes. Truly transcendental
Your work is such an amazing inspiration. My art has been soley focused on birds, which I am so intrigued by. I look at your birds Karl and think, wow. Just, wow.
Quando uma pessoa ama a arte de verdade, ela consegue se expressar numa tela. O artista que ama o que faz, consegue mostar ao mundo as suas obras de arte, cheias de riquezas!
fantastic a talent in your hands, brillant. beautiful house too and beautiful , perfect birds on water color, i never see. now frist water color, big water color with animals. so birds, Congratulatios, Big talent. special talent.
I resonated with this!!!! His work space was beautiful! And I totally understand his need to clear his mind before he paints. I have to do the same thing and I cannot have any distractions visually so I need a clear space with the least amount of things around as possible! I wonder if this is common? I also have a couple of those large Japanese ink brushes mine is not as large as his but about half that size and I looove them for large washes especially :) they are great for holding large amounts of colour! Found on amazon after a search when I used a small one from Japanese set I used I realized I wanted more.
The one talent i wish i was born with is a natural ability to draw, i'm terrible at even stick figures, so i just plod along & paint for catharsis, this guy is so talented, beautiful to see. I'd be proud to hang one of his paintings on my wall.
Karl, I came upon your work only recently; it is stunningly beautiful. I've worked with animals all my life as a photographer and filmmaker but have only just begun to paint. I have a fairly thorough knowledge of animals but not in a dozen lifetimes could I produce the kind of accuracy that you achieve without using any reference material other than what is in my mind. Am I correct in deducing from what you present here that you don't use any "printed" reference material on which to base your paintings? If not, your work is even more astonishing.
Very beautiful art there Karl 👍I love birds as well and paint them from time to time. What inspiration you must receive in that beautiful land you live in !!! Where is it by the way ??? May God continue to bless you .and all you do .it's so very lovely .🦅🐦tweet tweet❤️ Cherie 🌺

Mesmerizing. What a gift! Karl Martens is a wonderful artist.
Beautiful birds- I’ve seen many- yours are the best, they’re completely natural and alive
Your ability to express what is your true being is truly a gift. Thank you for sharing it with us
So Beautiful. Incredible talent. Thank you so much.
Dalia, more training than talent. Thousands of hours of meditating and studying nature are the Basis.
What a beautiful video - Karl is an incredible artist and obviously a very cool guy. Cheers, DEB T (NZ)
These are the most beautiful paintings I have ever seen. I mean truly.

So awesome that I have no words to express how amazing this is. Birds are my favourite subject as well.
