'floating between contemporary illustration, pop surealism, art nouveau and lowbrow'
Martine Johanna is aiming for an artisan craftsmanship that reflects her individual handwriting and personality.
A slight fashion influence, a tender darkness and an undertow of sexual tension is an undeniable part of the works.
Martine Johanna; Drawing since childhood, it felt like a wonderful escape, dreaming of other realities than mine. Since 2006 I found my way back to drawing after 10 years working in fashion design. It is the most magical thing me, to be able to reflect everything that is inside me and needs to come out...
