Martha Lenoir
Martha Lenoir is a French artist born in 1999. Passionate about drawing as a kid, she gets her hands on acrylics after moving to Canada with her mother, in 2010. In her late teens, she sells her first paintings to her neighbors and then showcases her art for the first time in a theatre in Lyon, France, where she studied and worked for 6 years. Now in Toronto, when she’s not busy pursuing her career in Film, she paints for pleasure and on commission.
With a soft spot for absurd and dreamlike visuals, Martha admires the works of René Magritte and Paola Rego, and her style is for the most part surrealist, leaning on symbolism.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
I believe there can be a story in every thing, whatever its form, but it's not so much about telling it as it is hearing or seeing it. Most times, I mean nothing by my art, it's usually not made to represent anything; however, it is fully yours to interpret. My art only exists through those who look at it: if it resonates within you, it's fulfilled its purpose.
