Meditative Yogi review by Thelma Wuisan
"I have never seen myself being "translated" or perceived by somebody else in a form of art and this is just exceptional! Martina has beautifully "captured" me with her third eye, her heart and her hands in this approx. 1m x 1m canvas. When I saw this painting for the first time, I was speechless. I was stunned by its beautiful charisma within the meaningful choice of colors and the definition of its auric energy. There is a balance between light and darkness; between hope and shadow; between originality and timidity captured in this art work. Martina has successfully described me! I was literally in tears seeing how Martina perfectly translated the complexity of my being in to one piece of art. I was simply blown away and humbled. This painting feels deeply personal to me. It is a genuine work of a meditative, talented and extremely intuitive artist. Martina sees the vibrational feelings and emotions beyond what the normal eye can see. And to be able to translate that perfectly takes an amazing skill as well. I'll say no more -this is quite overwhelming, just enjoy this wonderful heart/artwork - that will soon be framed and placed in my studio. My deep gratitude to beautiful soul Martina" Thelma Wuisan Brahmani Yoga Registered Teacher Karmarati Yoga Studio http://www.karmarati.com/ |

Review on the restoration of A Portrait of a Vietnamese Woman in Traditional Clothing by Jeremy Roberts "I would recommend Martina Greaney's painting restoration work to anyone. I obtained a damaged oil on canvas when travelling in Vietnam & had hopes of finding someone to fix it up. The painting had been damaged by splatters of white paint & actually looked like a bit of a lost cause, but because I loved the image so much - a portrait of a Vietnamese woman in traditional clothing, I purchased it from a surprised vendor. I engaged Ms. Greaney's services & asked if it was possible to remove the splatters. I also decided to give her some license to follow her instincts & tidy up any areas of the painting that she felt needed some work. (This painting was actually a factory-style quickie) I was delighted & extremely pleased when the painting was returned. Ms. Greaney had removed all the splatters of paint completely & had also reworked many areas of the canvas with great skill & had in fact dramatically improved it technically & artistically. Her control of colour is delightful. It now hangs in a prominent place in my lounge & is often commented on."

Bewitching Borobudur review by Niina Strobel
"I am a proud owner of two of Martina's paintings. Each time she really surprises me, there is so much depth to her work. Both paintings are so personal to my husband and I, she has the capability of looking into one's soul and putting it onto canvas, just breathtaking. The Borobudur painting captures just the peace and imagination of those beautiful moments we had in that place, and now we can admire it on our living room wall ,everyday. It is not just a painting, it's a memory, a deep sense of belonging and an artist's way of yet again, putting those emotions onto a canvas. Thank you Martina for being you and for making us those wonderful pieces of art."

Bajaj Goes Bananas review by Claire Fryer
"I was absolutely delighted to receive Martina's painting of a bajaj. It was so special that she created this artwork especially for me and I will always treasure it. I had the pleasure of working alongside Martina in her professional capacity as the art teacher at an international school in Jakarta. She planned brilliantly creative lessons for our buddy classes to enjoy exploring art together. She also was responsible for curating the school's annual art exhibition. It was an excellent representation of the varied and talented work of her students." Claire Fryer Primary School Teacher and Coordinator New Zealand Independent School |
