Title: Martine Jacobs – Buddha Visions, Spiritual Icons & Cultural Landscapes (2001–2014) Format: Website screenshots (archived via Wayback Machine) Language: Dutch and English (translated) Theme: Buddhist symbolism, hybrid media, spiritual abstraction, cultural fusion Description: This collection of screenshots documents the early digital portfolio of Dutch artist Martine Jacobs, showcasing her Buddha-inspired artworks and spiritual compositions across various media. The pages were captured from her personal website MartineJacobs.com and affiliated platforms between 2001 and 2014. The artworks blend Buddhist iconography with abstract expression, architectural symbolism, and poetic color palettes — often presented as limited edition prints on paper. Jacobs’ work reflects a deep engagement with themes of compassion, meditation, and cultural memory, while also experimenting with modernist influences and digital presentation. Her use of vibrant hues, layered textures, and symbolic landscapes creates a contemplative atmosphere that bridges East and West, tradition and innovation. 🖼️ Translated Highlights from the Screenshots: 1.
