Isabel M. Martinez

 

 

Like any other day, I grabbed my coffee and began browsing through Flipboard, an app on Samsung phones.  I looked through the news, fashion, and travel tabs then came across Isabel M. Martinez in the photography section.  I decided to google her and I'm glad I did.  Her photos are phenomenal.  As you flip through them, you have this feeling as if you are dreaming or your mind is lost but happy.  In addition to her incredible exposures, I fell more in love with her artist's statement:

"My work deals with the aspects of experience where the real, the known, and the imagined blend. Perception is a recurring theme within my practice, and has become a foundation from which I explore ideas that reflect on notions of time, space, simultaneity and duration. My interpretations are informed in part by science, philosophy and fiction. Creating juxtapositions that are disorienting or unexpected, my work engages with the uncertain amid the assumed and probes the boundary between abstraction and representation, fact and fiction, order and chaos. Experimentation and process are at the forefront of much of my practice, at times resulting in ambiguous narratives and hybrid exercises."
I find her work facinitaing and I hope you will too! Happy Browsing!
