Like Fish in Water

No doubt, it is a difficult moment in the global context, even so, we feel privileged and with a source of encouragement and enrichment for the creativity of all those present. It's no wonder we are all amazed by the colorful works of Falk and Sadler. Color, in itself, is a haven for them. Through color, they come together and present their latest creations under the title "Like Fish in Water". Thus, they immerse themselves and swim with themselves in each painting. All paintings have many rhythms, different forms with clear directions, others, with breaks and twists.

Martina Falk and Helen Sadler have a lot to do with each other as they breathe and live on the enigmatic island of Ibiza. They have been impregnated with it and, thus, they can express it. We are pleased to enjoy it.

Martina Falk

I start my paintings intuitively, in a spontaneous play with colors and shapes.

Step by step and oftentimes in many layers, I develop further what shows on the canvas at the moment, thus creating color- intensive, dream-like soul landscapes, sometimes populated by surrealistic looking figures.

My concern is to reflect the beauty and magic of this world in my paintings. I want to convey a positive feeling to the viewer and at the same time awaken your own fantasy and sensuality. My adopted home Ibiza inspires me continuously through its bright colors, the Mediterranean nature, and its very own spirit.

I mostly paint with acrylic on canvas, using not only brushes but everything from a used credit card to a toothbrush or even my bare hands - according to the motto "no rules" - allowed is what brings the fun.

Helen Sadler

Helen Sadler is a British artist, who works from her studio in the old port of Ibiza. She uses acrylics on canvas, to create abstract artwork inspired by the natural light and colours of the Balearics, from the organic colour combinations of the natural world, and the light that subtly changes throughout the day.

Her abstract paintings are intuitively created with spirit and passion. Each artwork is a moment in time, captured in a colourful energy explosion, with its own individual personality and characteristics.

Since the mid-90s, has always had a passion for art, Helen studied Art and Design at Art College and University, then into a career in art direction, photography, advertising, film, TV, events and graphic design. Working in these creative industries has helped her to confidently move forward in producing her own acclaimed artwork.
