Biography

Martina Latimer is a Brisbane-based oil painter whose work explores the complexities of human connection and the natural world. Her practice is driven by a deep appreciation for painting as well as a sustained interest in understanding the world around her—its people, relationships, and the intricacies of daily life.

Long periods of observing nature, reflecting on social dynamics, and engaging with philosophical texts inform her artistic process. Working in layered compositions, she combines traditional renderings of botanical forms with expressive depictions of human interaction. Her work offers an intimate and contemplative perspective on how we relate to one another and the world we inhabit.
