Pieter J. Martyn - In the pines series -mixed media portrait on wood

This intimate and atmospheric artwork by Belgian contemporary artist Pieter J. Martyn is part of his evocative series The Pines. Executed in mixed media on solid wood, the piece features a ghostly portrait emerging from deep, textured shadows — a signature approach in Martyn's exploration of memory, identity, and emotional presence.

The haunting, almost spectral face appears to be fading in or out of visibility, suspended between light and dark. The dimensions (30 x 30 x 4 cm) give the piece a sculptural quality, allowing it to float subtly off the wall with depth and presence.

Created with acrylic, charcoal and layers of varnish, the surface carries a raw, tactile energy. The wood itself adds warmth and weight, turning this portrait into a physical object as much as a painting.

A unique collector’s item for lovers of contemporary Flemish art, emotional abstraction, or textural portraiture.
