About this edition:

"Painting is a dip into your own secret desires," says Martina.

"It's an adventure, about which you never know how it ends ." She said.

Like life, the Tracy´s, as well as ours. It's good not to walk alone. It is good to have your tiger.

Tiger, who sometimes looks like a black panther and sometimes quite different.

Savage and snuggling, free, and suffering animal.

Majestic.

Our.

It is good that we can sometimes catch a glimpse of our tiger.

Touch him and talk to him, and one day look while he leaves.

Therefore Martina´s pictures. Tracy and his tiger, and what belongs to him inseparable: people, city, coffee, love, and psychiatry.

Surface of the paper is not enough. Therefore, Martina adds a third dimension - space and also a challenge for you to add your deeply private fourth dimension.
