Lyandrea Martinez

Lyandrea is an American artist of Borinquen ancestry who creates art for another form of meditation and expression. Smooth brushstrokes and confident line work evolved through their tattooing practices. Self-taught and self-sufficient. Life poured, leading an expressionism approach with mediums of oil, acrylic, oil pastels, and graphite. Elle's current works focus on environmental change, various brutalities, and pollution in a series titled "Save Mother".

Queer art is also a main focus. Other works come to life by inspiration of other queer lifestyles. Queer art was not represented in art history. It was known to be provocative and satanist. Elle loves to break the barrier of planted speculation. Their identity is unique and it is very much portrayed in their work.

Self-taught

Art History is major in my craft. It's important to learn about the masters. I spend time reading books and watching documentaries of dead and living artists. Those who inspire me are Jillian Evelyn, Olivia Blanc, Laura Buitrago, Brill Adium, Philip Pitcacas, Peter Dorante, Elijah Ndoumbe, Henri Matisse, Frida Kahlo, Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Robert Mapplethorpe.
