Martine Jacobs is a contemporary artist from the Netherlands whose work explores the intersection of geometry, spirituality, and emotion. Inspired by origami forms and pastel color palettes, her compositions often combine folded figures with abstract structures, sometimes framed in Mondrian-like grids, sometimes floating freely in layered space.
Her art reflects a fascination with movement and symbolic storytelling, blending delicate hand-colored textures with bold architectural lines. Jacobs’ work has been featured in digital arts media in New York and resonates with audiences who seek playful abstraction and narrative geometry.
Through her pastel origami-inspired figures, she invites viewers to experience a balance between fragility and strength, order and imagination.
