I and Thou - Notes to Self

Artist Statement

Martina Latimer’s practice embraces an intentional naivety, depicting the simple moments of connection that shape our lives.

Her work is informed by the philosophical writings of Martin Buber - particularly his concept of dialogue and the sacredness of the “I and Thou” relationship. These ideas resonate throughout her process: the slow act of seeing becomes a form of thinking, a quiet engagement with the world and its relationships.

Plants, painted on a large scale and in saturated colours, play a central role - both as subjects and as symbolic anchors. Superimposed with drawings of human interaction, these botanical forms ground the canvas, creating a space that is both calming and uplifting. Her paintings invite viewers into a contemplative space where connection, presence, and simplicity are held with care.
