Martin Musselmann - Latin Art
” Martin Musselmann Garcias vivid paintings are simultaneously highly abstract and unequivocally emblematic of the natural form inspiring each image…”
“… the brilliant plumage of a tropical bird, the salty foam on a rolling wave, the wavering blue of seascape. In search of a paradise, like Paul Gauguin, Musselmann found his muse in the flourishing tropics, the Amazon and the ocean…”
“… Musselmann describes this search as a mythical experience, one that reaches beyond the formal and mathematical patterns of art. Unlike Gauguin and Delacroix, however, whose visions of paradise were more illusion and invention than reality, Musselmann considers the (Peru) South America inspiring his art to be a true paradise…”
“…Working on mixed media on wood, Musselmann creates thickly painted and lushly expressionistic works that evoke the resplendence of the tropics or the sultry textures of a coastal landscape. In torrid reds, brilliant yellows, and effervescent shades of azure, he describes the transitory shapes of an incessantly shifting ocean, itinerant fauna and fecund flora…“
“…Born in Stuttgart, Germany, Musselmann studied in the Art School Suarez Vertiz in Lima, Peru and the Art School Freie Kunstschule in Stuttgart , Germany… He has participated in exhibitions in China, Peru, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Netherlands, Tacoma and Hollywood, USA. He currently works as an illustrator, photographer and designer…“

“The strong colours, the direct forms, the format-filling, bursting compositions certainly come from the overabundance of tropical nature and Latin experiences… The explosion of colour, especially in the macaw series, does not just happen by chance.. It’s not youthful Exuberance, violence and still fresh directness, but there is experience and knowledge about the color…”
Jürgen Kintrup ( Artist, Art Teacher and Critic)
“Martin Musselmann Garcia can portray with his fine feeling for the nature of a person. Musselmann works with fine strokes and simple composition. On the other hand, Martin can also access passionately. Martin Musselmann will make his way as a painter.”
