Martina Ponssa

An Argentine visual artist based in Córdoba, working primarily through abstract painting and mixed media.

My work is driven by questions of identity, memory, origin, and belonging. Through painting, I explore the stories we inherit, the ones we construct, and those that remain hidden beneath the surface. What begins as an intuitive process often becomes a way of investigating my own history and understanding the experiences that shape who I am.

I work with acrylic paint, spray paint, oil pastels, crayons, graphite, and other mixed media, often on unstretched canvas. Words frequently appear in my paintings as fragments of thought, memory, or emotion, becoming part of the visual language rather than an explanation of the work.

I'm interested in creating spaces where uncertainty, vulnerability, and transformation can coexist. Through layers, gestures, and marks, I seek to reveal traces of what cannot always be named but continues to resonate within us.
