Art for Ukraine

Martinez is a London based Catalan printmaker. Her printmaking is innovative for being based on a technique known as photopolymer gravure that is more commonly associated with photography. This method of printing involves exposing a plate with light to create an image, the plate is then inked and printed onto paper using pressure through an etching press. The ensuing prints created by Martinez are ethereal and captivating. Her use of colour is integral to the final work and something that the artist experiments with throughout the making process. Martinez’s work has been exhibited in London, Barcelona and the UAE and was recently shortlisted for the Printmaking Today Award at the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair in London.
