Artist Statement

Martzia’s trademark imagery seeks to exist between the elemental contrasts of “soft” and “hard”. Her goal is to connect and heal others and herself while creating hope for a better tomorrow for all.

  • Monarchs represent transformative justice and migration

  • The breaks in the chains, and the butterflies flying outside of the chain, represent breaking cycles of everyday challenges

  • The hands represent joining hands, lending a hand, and women’s work as the backbone of everything

Revamping walls from Spain to Wynwood, and anywhere in-between. She has painted during Art Basel in Miami, X-Games, Soundset Music Festival, and ChromoZone Festival.
