A series of coincidences brought Martina Rall to explore and re-think the inherent nature of her work and provides a practical meaning to the American poet William Carlos Williams' quote: “The artist is always and forever painting only one thing: a self-portrait.” In 2009, she started her mixed media series “Being Marilyn Monroe”: Icon-Portraits, portraying herself an inspiring modern-day icon such as Marilyn Monroe, Frida Kahlo, Audrey Hepburn, Maria Callas, Romy Schneider, Michael Jackson and Grace Kelly.

In her work on Maria Callas, Martina Rall has immortalized the iconic opera singer: “Maria Callas lived exclusively for the opera until she met Aristotle Onassis. From that moment on, Maria the singer became Maria the woman. Her love was true, absolute and passionate, like her performance in art.”

From Pop Art to Cindy Sherman photography or Russian cinematography, the inspiration behind her work combines an interesting blend of artistic expressions.

Her mixed media series are influenced by the work of surrealist female artists like Frida Kahlo and Niki de St. Phalle as well as by Italian author Luigi Pirandello’s post-modernist approach on identity theory.

Her passion for portraying creative working people leads to a second series: ‘Artists in Action’ portraying European artists from various fields:  musicians, authors and actors at work. The series focuses on the magic moment in which art and the artist merge into one, but also explore the creative process and the fascination of art.
