Life

Martina Schettina was born in 1961 in the district Währing in Vienna. Her father was a mathematician. She spent her childhood in the Viennese district Leopoldstadt, where she attended the primary school in “Parzmanitengasse”, afterwards the grammar school “Bundesrealgymnasium Vereinsgasse”, where she passed school leaving examination with honour in 1979. From 1979 to 1983, Schettina studied mathematics and physics at the University of Vienna, Austria and was an autodidact in painting. In 1989 she established her atelier in Langenzersdorf near Vienna, Lower Austria, and since 1992 she makes exhibitions in Europe,USA and Asia.

She studied at the Summer Art school Geras with famous Austrian painters. These were 1993 Ulrich Gansert, 1994 Peter Sengl and 1995 Hubert Aratym. She also studied at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. In 2007 and 2008 she worked with the Chinese Artist Xiaolan Huangpu. Schettina taught from 1984 till 2007 at a high school in Vienna, Austria. Since 2008 her paintings are periodical published in the coloured Newspaper Kronen Zeitung on Sundays, which is the most read Austrian daily newspaper. Sometimes her paintings are printed in the newspaper Kleine Zeitung.

Martina Schettina ended teaching in 2007. She works and lives in Langenzersdorf, Lower Austria, and also works in Vienna.

Since 1992 her artwork is shown in Austrian and international exhibitions. Her first single exhibition outside Austria was 1999 in the Mots & Tableaux-Gallery in Brussels. Her paintings and sculptures has been shown in many exhibitions in Museums and gallerys in Europe, USA and Asia and were shown at art fairs such as Art Expo New York, Art Vilnius, CIGE (China international gallery exposition) Beijing and Art Shanghai.

Work

In her narrative, figurative work the artists concerns with the position of women in the community (society). She challenges the validation of the role models of men and women in the past and today. Because her bodies seem to be transparent, Schettina is called the painter with the glassy hand. Her work is influenced by Pop-Art. Her Painting "Orange Dress", which shows a self-confident, modern woman, was 2009 shown on the poster of the exhibition "City. Country. Woman." in Museum of the City Krems, Austria. From 2008 on Schettina deals with mathematical themes, which she transforms to paintings.[1][2] In December 2009 the book „Mathemagische Bilder“ containing paintings and essays was published in Vienna.[3] Martina Schettina also shows performances about mathematics, which are illustrated by her paintings.
