mirla g martinez Art and Design are a constant interaction in my work. The aesthetic in both my work as well as in my student’s work is the result of a commitment to research in each project. Students are aware that without a substantial and cohesive foundation of a concept, any work of art or design may result in a “visually useless thing” without content and formality. One of the primary criteria in work is the insertion of theoretical support for projects elaborated in class and in my personal work. Bibliography related to color theory such as: Art and Visual Perception by Rudolph Arnheim, or Color Theory by Johannes Itten are resources I utilize in my everyday practice. My background includes a strong art foundation due to my education in Cuba where I studied at the art academy and the Univesity of Design. A very rigoruous selection process is conducted to be accepted in school; this, plus broad areas of study in fine art and design created in myself and my work, something very wide in terms of thought and media. My experience as an artist and designer since 1994, when I graduated from the University of Design in La Habana, Cuba, allowd me to interact with students from the most diverse backgournds and disciplines.What influences and informs my work and teaching philosophy found its basis in professors, contemporary readings, and films, but also in my background as a student and a professional in a foreigner country as Cuba is. Art and Design are integral parts of my passion as a designer and as an artist.
