Born in Distrito Federal Mexico; raised in Toronto, Desiree Martinez is a self-taught artist that finds imperfections through paint and meaning in clay. She had no access to education due to limitation on her income. She explore different jobs that lead her to find herself in mental breakdown. Desiree decided to take a break and reminisce about her drawings as a kid. With time & patience, she found herself safe and understood by the art world.
THE STORY:
Desiree shares artistry that finds, preserves, and transforms the connection between the body, mind, and emotion to something tangible yet imperfect. Much like its inspiration and audience. Conveying the odyssey of victories and defeats molded together creating life immortalized through brush strokes and mud.
