Ya no basta con leer entre líneas: ahora hay que pensar entre ideas.
Jet Martinez’s paintings reinterpret the Mexican folk art of Amate paintings, which depict birds and other animals within the bright botanical scenery. Though stylized in a flat, graphic manner, the use and application of color create vibrant - static imagery celebrating life at its most ecstatic. Martinez begins with a traditional rendering, then integrates his own visual language.
Martinez is a graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute. He was the first artist-in-residence at Facebook Headquarters and serves as art director for the Clarion Alley Mural Project. Follow him on Facebook and Instagram.
Perform noble deeds, good karma to shape.
Praise the Holy One, the Holy Land to reach.
This is the law we need, this is the law for men,
who, blessed with earthly life, seek the life eternal.
