Subdue 2022

"Subdue", a 2022 painting by Martine Johanna, depicts a young woman with flowing white hair, a delicate scarf, and a pensive expression. The artist's use of vibrant, layered colors creates a dreamlike atmosphere, with the woman's skin shimmering against the teal fabric. Johanna's work is often characterized by its focus on feminine beauty and the ethereal, and "Subdue" exemplifies her signature style. The painting invites viewers to consider the complexities of the female experience, exploring themes of vulnerability, strength, and introspection.
