Ana Martinez

I am an artist who likes working and experimenting with different materials and subjects. I am always trying to capture the ambience and atmosphere of the place where I live or where I travelled to, looking for the light, the shadows, colours, beauty, ruin, decay …
To me painting is much more than colouring or drawing, it is about materials, I put and I remove, it is a hard war, I create and I destroy; one colour, one brushstroke, one intention, always hide something more.
My paintings are a combination of the real and imagined, exploring the concept of time and memory.
I am interested in portrait as well. I really like to paint children and animals because They give me the oportunity to capture the true essence of their souls.
I like painting urban landscapes and the interaction between people and urban environment.

All my life has been linked to the art in one way or another, I studied in School of Art in Madrid, Spain. For several years I worked in differents theatres in backstage and with the designers team. I enjoyed this work, I was impressed for the light and shadows covering the sets and changing the colours… I wanted to learn more and to be a professional painter, then I left the theatre and studied Fine Arts in Miguel Hernandez University in Alicante, Spain. I am currently living in Madrid and I am a devoted artist.
