Mixed Media & Acryl on Jute, 2014, 49,5 x 31 CM

Acrylic on Jute in Warm Tones: Texture, Contrast and Material Expression
This acrylic painting on jute (49.5 x 31 cm) explores the interaction between material, color, and intuitive gesture. Warm tones of orange and earthy brown are layered across the surface, creating a quiet yet rhythmic energy. The coarse texture of the jute remains present beneath the paint, lending the piece a grounded, almost tactile intensity. Framed in a classic light wooden frame, the painting retains its rawness, while the framing introduces a refined visual balance. The combination of jute and acrylic creates a play between tension and stillness, where imperfection becomes part of the visual language. The work shifts between abstraction and material study, encouraging close and open-ended viewing. There is no defined image; shapes emerge and dissolve, guided more by instinct than structure. This openness allows the painting to change with the space, the light, or the viewer’s state of mind. Mart Visser’s artistic process is physical, layered, and intuitive. He works with paint, jute, paper, and other materials, constructing and deconstructing in equal measure. Traces of earlier gestures remain visible, contributing to the visual depth of the final piece. His background in fashion is evident in his sense of composition, but in his visual art, he embraces rawness and imperfection. Material is given room to speak, and chance plays a defining role. This painting carries that same signature: subtle power, rhythm, and a tactile, almost intimate energy.

Context and Presence in the Space
Rather than dominating a space, this artwork inhabits it, entering into quiet dialogue with textures, colors, and natural materials. In an interior with soft tones, stone, wood, or linen, the painting finds its place naturally. It adds depth not by demanding attention, but by resonating gently.
