"I really value Martina's palette; She is a singular artist, with a vivid, powerful work that conveys the orphanhood that man feels in front of the mountain. From my point of view, it reminds me of the great Ferdinand Hodler, who also dedicated his brush to portraying the Swiss mountains." - Luis Lahitte, Buenos Aires, Argentina

* "I never tried to paint with pastels"as I thought it was too hard for me. . I decided to follow Martina classes, and I cannot believe I have not tried this before. With her guidance I had left my fears and now I fully enjoy the creative process". Mary Anne Donaldson, London, UK*

* "Martina inspire me to paint thing I never thought possible. Confront the bare paper with my pastels, and once the process starts is like magic. Martina makes me see things and capture them to beautiful paintings that I am proud of". Lorenzo Benedetti, Milano, Italia
