The artist
Lida Martini.
Lida Martini creates vibrant abstract paintings that bridge geometric precision with organic intuition. Working across oil, acrylic, and mixed media, her work explores rhythm, symmetry, and the emotional resonance of color. Each painting begins as a structured composition — often symmetrical, almost architectural — and evolves through layers of gestural marks, textural experiments, and intuitive color decisions.
Her visual language draws from diverse sources: folk art traditions, textile patterns, Art Deco geometry, and the rhythmic structures of nature. The result is work that feels both ancient and contemporary — ceremonial in its symmetry, yet alive with the energy of the present moment.

Process & medium.
Each painting develops through a dialogue between planning and discovery — from initial geometric scaffolding to final color harmonies.
Foundation
Compositions begin with pencil or charcoal underdrawings — grids, symmetrical axes, repeating modules. This structural skeleton guides the work while leaving room for deviation.
Color as rhythm
Color is applied in layers — flat fields first, then glazes, scumbles, and impasto accents. The palette shifts between warm and cool, saturated and muted, creating visual vibration.
Surface & texture
Mixed media elements — sand, marble dust, fabric — enter the surface. Scratching, scraping, and re-painting reveal history within the work, echoing the layered nature of memory.
