Скачать или смотреть In the Artist's Studio with Emilio Martinez

Honduras-born Emilio Martinez moved with his family to Miami when he was 13. His mixed-media work is based on childhood memories and dreams, which he records in his sketchbooks. He conveys his anxieties and experiences of dislocation in his work by using spiritual symbols derived from ancient, indigenous peoples. He describes his painting “Being Happy is My Choice” (in the museum’s “I Paint My Reality: Surrealism in Latin America” show) as a representation of happiness that accompanies self-conscious acceptance.

On this episode of "In the Artist's Studio", visit featured artist Emilio Martinez at his Miami home, as he discusses his work on view in "I Paint My Reality: Surrealism in Latin America", his past works and a glimpse at what he's working on now.
