PATRICIA MARTINS

Patricia Martins is a digital artist, painter and aspiring teacher hailing from Turlock, California. She is currently finishing her degree at California State University, Stanislaus. Melding her love for art, teaching and the world, she plans on moving to South Korea to teach English to children while utilizing art based instruction. Patricia’s style is a fusion of ink wash painting and watercolor done digitally in her program of choice, Procreate. Much of her personal work regards nature, the beauty of the world and ideas of hope. Her influence is rooted in her less than ideal childhood and tribulations faced in adulthood. Instead of using her artwork as an outlook to reflect these hardships, she considers the contrary. As art is a means of limitless creation, she believes it is the only place in which idealism is possible. Despite this, her work also conveys the heavy meaning of that fact. Her biggest concern is not creating a deep or meaningful impact on the viewer, it is the opposite. She states that her job is done when the viewer is able to forget about the corrupt and hellish world humanity dwells in, even if just for a moment. Patricia believes that art holds a multitude of different purposes, all of which are important. She claims that art will always be relevant in recounting and retelling the condition of the times it was created in, but that it is also important in acting as a reprieve from those conditions as well.
