Os elementos recorrentes na obra de Arjan – como as caravelas, a rosa dos ventos, a coroa e elementos de traçados de mapas – às vezes são pintados em sua totalidade formando um globo terrestre, às vezes apenas delimitando os países ou continentes. Martins pinta formas que assemelham-se a corpos negros, na posição horizontal, e o oceano Atlântico, que durante o período colonial tornou-se um cemitério de corpos negros. Estima-se que durante os 300 anos de prática escravista, morriam 14 negros por dia trazidos da costa africana para o Brasil, afirma Laurentino Gomes em seu livro "Escravidão".

The recurring elements in Arjan's work — such as the caravels, the wind rose, the crown, and map-making elements — are sometimes painted in their entirety, forming a terrestrial globe, sometimes only delimiting countries or continents. Martins paints shapes that resemble black bodies in the horizontal position and the Atlantic Ocean, which during the colonial period became a cemetery of black bodies. It is estimated that during 300 years of slave practice, 14 black people died per day during the trip from the African coast to Brazil, says Laurentino Gomes in his book "Slavery."
