As a painter and sculptor , Martina Hoffmann, intersperses her life of creating art with giving painting technique workshops with Venosa at such institutes as The Skyros Institute on the island of Skyros in Greece, Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California and the CIIS (California Institute of Integral Studies), as well as private workshops in Boulder, Colorado and on the Big Island in Hawaii.
Together Hoffmann and Venosa have designed numerous CD covers, amongst them Kitaro's 'Mandala' for which Hoffmann did the photography.
Also Martina has designed and created original art for book covers.
Her early paintings were influenced by her interest in how much of the human persona is reflected in the face, so portraiture, in particular of women, became her first main subject matter.
Later she explored women |
