J'ai en face de moi votre peinture toute la journée, et c'est formidable, c'est comme un appel de lumière… Sûrement une protection.
Dimitri Klein, Artistes en Résidence, Tamil Nadu, Inde, 29 mars 2005

Martine nous fait redécouvrir un moment de notre vie à tous: ce moment d'éternité, de spiritualité, d'éveil et de grâce qui est en nous. Merci à l'artiste.

Martine Quentric-Séguy - A versatile personality with vivid interest :
Having just finished with her exhibition (on compassion) of paintings at Tibetan Pavilion, Auroville, she has one (Hymnes à l'Amour) in Pondicherry. For painting lovers, around 14 of her best adorn the walls of Aurodhan art gallery, waiting for art lovers to whisk them away.
... The artist "invents something to the idea that she sees on the handmade papers with leaf imprints and other varieties of paper produced in Auroville". The Painting "Beyond our differences" needs special mention as it has unusual collection of writings from China,Peru, etc., some are as old as 6000 years. Her unique collection include many unknown facets like for example a musical maestro's painting draws your imagination, while some abstract paintings are also captivating. For the emotional factor, a pair in love is good, and "the kiss" turns you on. Paintings like "mother and child", a woman embracing someone to her bosom, "the meeting" and "sweet message" need special mention for their vividness.
This is the third time that she is holding her exhibition in India...

"Hymns of Love" : Paintings which speak a thousand words... When asked why it was called "Hymns of Love", she said : "Painting for me is not just drawing something on canvas, it is a mixture of emotions, sounds, favors and words coming to me when I paint"... As to inspiration for her paintings, she says "I paint whatever I feel, when I see something I register it in my mind and paint the emotions it creates in me. Whatever I feel is reflected in my pictures". True to her words, each of her pictures is of a different style altogether... they can each tell a story....
She said too : If we have beauty around us, life itself becomes more tolerable and enjoyable."

Vos peintures : "Aum & prem" : moving, excellent, thought-provoking, voilà ma réaction spontanée.

La porte s'ouvre et on entre dans un monde de beauté intérieure et immortelle.
