Two stooped figures – a farmer and his wife – stand close together, absorbed in their daily work and in each other. The rounded forms, heavy hands, and muted green tones give the scene a great warmth and humanity. "Our Existence" is an intimate, timeless painting that captures the simple, shared life in the countryside in a single, powerful image.

Description

Nest Martens (1925–2024) is considered a modern heir to Flemish Expressionism. From an early, Permeke-like visual language, he developed his own highly stylized form language with bold lines and bright color fields. His work balances between abstraction and figuration, often focusing on human figures and their interrelationships, making it a source of continued appeal to both collectors and art lovers.
