Kelly Martini is a contemporary artist based in Melbourne, Australia.
Music Mugshot Series.
Inspired by my obsession with the universal power of music and lyrics and the innate human need for creative expression through art.
A touch of nostalgia and fun with the cassette tape and the likeness to a mugshot as we are all branded by the songs we carry in our minds and hearts.
Inspired by human expression, music and lyrics, Kelly’w work mixes realism and abstract elements.
Kelly aims to create the familiar imagery of faces and the human form but allow the viewer to draw their own story from the expression and the art piece title, which is inspired by song lyrics. She enjoys the combination of moody and bright colours to carry the viewer on the journey of discovery, story telling and self refection.
Kelly is passionate about helping others connect with their creativity and believes everyone has art inside them. This inspired her to create and publish her first art book in 2020 titled ‘Sketch & Sentence A Day - Your Five Year Creative Journey’, a artistic journal that encourages artistic expression and practice, no matter your ability.
