Martina Goldberg Wittke

Martina Goldberg was born in Bremen, Germany. Growing up in the north with its vast, flat open landscapes occasionally interrupted by trees, and always “a horizon to cling to” (as she herself puts it) definitely influenced her artistic expression. 

As a photographer’s apprentice, she ways fascinated by contrasts and open spaces, she soon developed her own way of seeing her surroundings, trying to capture her visions on film.

Besides her successful work in the photo studio, she was commissioned to take photographs for museum catalogues and record covers for EOM (Edition Orange Music), in Freiburg, Germany.

Working mainly in acrylics, Martina captures on her canvases visual aspects of the Mexican landscape, combining it with the Northern European spirit, taking her expression beyond the limits of the viewer’s eye. Using just a few visual elements and a limited palette, her works are often dramatically contrasted but also subtly blended, which is her way of interpreting the essence and mood of her images, always aiming to evoke in the viewer an “inner landscape”.

“I want people to enter my paintings, to transcend them and carry them beyond the image. I want them to feel my landscapes, not just see them” ~Martina.

As an Owner/Partner of Galeria Uno, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, she spent years as a permanent exhibitor and curator, before discovering and developing her gifts as a healer. Each of Martina’s works reflects a wonderful integration of all her gifts, as she creates a calming, relaxing, tranquil mood. “Through my paintings I try to give the viewer a moment to get in touch with him or herself within the feeling of nature”.
