IPEK MARTINEZ
When I am out in the world with a camera in hand or with a paint brush in front of a canvas, I keep finding myself looking for opportunities to capture and showcase the spirit of nature that spark joy in me.
My artwork aims to celebrate the beauty and peaceful solitude of vast desert lands, Texas Hill Country prairies, cloud filled skies, and nourishing rains. Embedded in each painting is a hint of human endeavor: tire tracks on dirt roads, rows of crops, long highways, radio and water towers.
A few of my acrylic paintings are featured in my print collection.
When I paint, the first thing I attend to is the sky. I am mesmerized by the beauty of clouds. Then, I try to connect my visual experiences of the places with the feeling of awe I have felt when viewing them.
