One of the most important figurative painters in Spain, Marti has received commissions for portraits of Spain's royal family and scenes from Placido Domingo's production of Otello at La Scala. He's painted city streets and seaside landscapes, kings and commoners. A favorite theme has been the female nude, often wrapped in a shawl, a subject he approaches with insight and grace. Prolific ... versatile ... sensitive ... introspective ... the work of Joan Marti.
