Painting is a journey into ourselves, into the depths of our being; it's about exploring a story and sharing it with others.

Martin Laurent, fascinated from childhood by the art of his watercolorist grandfather, uses painting as a privileged means of translating feelings and moments in life. Specializing in knife-edge oil painting, he captures the essence of urban life with a deep, expressive touch. His works, inspired by the many facets of the city, reflect the complexity and intensity of everyday life, offering a singular vision of modern existence.

Martin Laurent's inspiration comes from the city, which he perceives as a living organism in various moods. He uses oil paint with a knife to capture the moods and feelings of urban moments. An admirer of Berthe Morisot and Joaquim Sorolla for their mastery of light, and of Francis Bacon for the emotional depth of his work, Martin explores the atmospheres of everyday life with unique precision and expressiveness. Each painting is an invitation to feel the energy of a place and the emotion of a moment, making visible the invisible in urban life.
