"Painting is like taking a trip into another world; which is your own world. Where your thoughts and feelings are the very essence of your mind. It is only your world. It is your heart, your soul and the existence of your very own expressions are discovered in emerging colors, and the energy of brush strokes and the illusion of images and shapes are fused into one. No one can change your painting or take away. Only you can look at what you did. We need not understand, but only get some sole from your painting. I am going on a trip, do you to come along?"

Martin Weise paints in strong, powerful brushstrokes compared to John Marin, creating loose expressionist paintings. Howard Farber of Artist Speak Magazine writes "Martin Weise's case the beauty of his work is in his light touch, the manner in which he builds a composition in feathery strokes of color. His strokes are kind of visual shorthand akin to that of John Marin, whom he can resemble for his near abstract, spares linearity. In some of his paintings, figures, are seen within the landscape, while others contain architectural elements, such as small dwellings of churches. However, nature is always the main event in these pictures, imbued with a sense of growth and vitality by virtue of Martin Weise's energetic brush strokes."

Claude LeSuer of Art Speak writes "Martin Weise is a versatile talent who explores various aspects of the figure in ink and acrylics, creating simplified, stylized images that are at once humanistic and experimental".
