Doris Marten Abstract Sculptures

German, b. 1971
Doris Marten’s paintings explore the perception of colours and their mutual influence, immersing the viewer in an abstract geometric world. She uses lines that reveal colours individually and bring to life the effects of their juxtapositions. The artist has developed a thorough knowledge of colours which allows her to create optical illusions, impressions of movement and intense variations of light. From the beginning of the 2000’s, her work has been regularly exhibited in Germany and elsewhere in the world (United States, Europe). Two of her works have been included in the German Bundestag collection. “Time is a material that is necessary to create my paintings. Line by line, they are created in a concentrated process that has much in common with the activity of writing or even telling a story.’’

Hexagonal Lilac Grey Wall Sculpture in Hand Molded Ceramic Relief Modular Panel

By Elizabeth Art Candy

Located in FISTERRA, ES

Hexagonal lilac grey clay wall sculpture in hand molded ceramic relief designed for modular panel installation. This wall-mounted clay sculpture is constructed from hand molded natural clay, low-temperature fired and spray-finished in a muted lilac grey tone. The surface develops through intertwined tubular strands compressed into a compact hexagonal format, generating a dense ceramic relief defined by repetition and controlled accumulation. The lilac grey coloration introduces a cooler chromatic register compared to the yellow counterpart in the series. Rather than relying on saturation, the piece articulates depth through shadow and subtle tonal variation. The braided clay elements create a continuous tactile structure, where light interacts with the relief to produce shifting gradients across the surface. The hexagonal support establishes a geometric boundary that contrasts with the organic curvature of the clay forms. This tension between containment and expansion is central to the work’s spatial presence. The sculpture functions independently as a clay wall relief...

Hexagonal Gold Clay Wall Sculpture in Molded Ceramic Relief Modular Installation

By Elizabeth Art Candy

Located in FISTERRA, ES

Hexagonal gold clay wall sculpture in hand molded ceramic relief designed for modular wall installation. This wall-mounted clay sculpture is composed of hand molded natural clay, low-temperature fired and spray-finished in a metallic gold tone. The surface develops through compact braided strands compressed within a hexagonal structure, creating a dense ceramic relief defined by repetition and tactile accumulation. The gold finish intensifies the sculptural depth of the piece. Rather than functioning as a flat metallic surface, the color interacts with the relief geometry, producing shadowed recesses and reflective highlights. The intertwined clay elements generate a continuous textured field, emphasizing material density and structural cohesion. The hexagonal format establishes a precise geometric boundary that contrasts with the organic flow of the braided forms. This balance between geometry and material fluidity defines the visual language of the work. The sculpture operates both as an independent clay wall relief...
