I loved so much working on this painting, capturing her beauty and elegance, in this case dressed…

This is a very special painting for a very special couple. A good friend of mine, who is always supporting my works, got engaged recently. The rest of my friends decided they wanted to give them a meaningful gift they could enjoy for the rest of their lives. With that idea, they asked me if…

After volunteering for painting a kennel for RSPCA (see post Kennel for RSPCA Million Paws Walk 2015), the Canning Times (from Community Newspaper Group) got in touch with me to write an article regarding the kennel I painted for the auction.

I was asked to support RSPCA by painting a kennel for the next RSPCA Million Paws Walk event. Among other activities, that day they were going to host an auction of kennels painted by different artists in WA, and the funds raised would go towards RSPCA projects to provide care and protection of animals. I was very…
I am finally writing this post about a project I undertook last year (better late than never!), where I put aside my oils, acrylics and pencils to do something very different to what I normally do. I was asked to design a simple image to represent the scientific research conducted at the Centre for Marine Science…

“. . . mixing with the soft waves themselves (…) these are the times of dreamy quietude, when beholding the tranquil beauty and brilliancy of the ocean’s skin, one forgets the tiger heart that pants beneath it… “ – Herman Melville (Moby Dick) Oil and acrylic painting “Humpback whale” by Marta Galindo.

“¿Qué es el ser ante el color del mundo? El color del mundo es mayor que el sentimiento del hombre” – Juan Ramón Jiménez Acrylic painting “Hells Gate lighthouse” by Marta Galindo.
I consider there is some attractiveness on what you do not get to see completely, on what leaves you with the desire of seeing more, of knowing more. We have an extraordinary mind that fills the gaps for us, and yet, we want more, we want it all. Part of the beauty of the sea…
