The artist

For as long as he can remember, Ghis Martel has always been drawn to art and music. Having grown up in a family of musicians and always fascinated by art and drawing, it didn't take him long to realize he would pursue a career in the arts.

His early drawings showed a clear talent for proportion and color combinations from a young age. Alongside his studies in contemporary music and art, he explored abstract painting and drawing. Although primarily self-taught, his studies of the great masters of contemporary art, such as Kandinsky, Klee, Miró, and Pollock, as well as figurative or surrealist painters of the modern era (Monet, Turner, Van Gogh, Dalí, Picasso, and Braque), shaped his tastes and preferences.

“Art is not only a form of expression, but also a way of being. Practicing art is a kind of contemplation of the present moment that allows you to reconnect with yourself and recharge. It's about creating your own parallel universe, in a way, where you try to connect with the outside world in harmony with your inner vibration.”
