“Sacrifice” Oil Paintings by Martine Forward

I am a level 6 Visual arts student and over the past year, I have been exploring environmental degradation through landscape paintings that refl ect the impact of Anthropocentric views. My works, like “Sacrifice,” depict desolate, eerie landscapes to highlight a future shaped by human actions.

I use various textures and limited colour palettes, often incorporating recycled materials, to reinforce my environmental themes. Inspired by climate change and nature, my goal is to inspire reflection, education, and action, urging viewers to take responsibility for our planet’s future.
