ARTIST STATEMENT

Rhythms and frequencies is the visual manner in which I see and presence how divine energy decants from the subtle energy dimensions to more dense matter states, forming everything in creation. The worlds vegetable, mineral, animal and human, appear flashing our sight. Nature phenomena, weather they are microcosmic or macro cosmic, become what they really are, kaleidoscopes that match their resonance in human perception.

We could say that Rhythms and Frequencies, is a visual meditation process that by the way has its' resonance in music, poetry and of course in dance.

Sergio Martinez was born in Monterrey in 1956. While he made his debut at the age of 6 as a singer of old singing Mexican songs a capella, Martinez started studying music in Monterrey when he was 12 years old. In 1975, the ALFA corporate group awarded him a scholarship to study classical guitar at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. It was there where he crossed paths with John Cage at the Laban Center in London in 1975. It was Cage whose words and dance inspired Martinez to follow his passion into the visual arts. Martinez still remembers to enjoy the sounds and visual elements that surround him from his early days in Monterrey to his multiple musical trips to Italy and England. As a musician, rhythm and frequencies are the building blocks of Martinez’s work as they are of the kingdoms of earth. They allow him to explore how energy decants into dense matter forming everything before him. Natural phenomena, micro or macro, become kaleidoscopic in his paintings, matching their resonance in human perception. Rhythms and frequencies are a visual meditation process demonstrated in his current body of work Impronta Urbis and Layers of Consciousness. They resonate in music poetry and of course dance.
