Soraida Martinez
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Soraida Martinez is a contemporary abstract expressionist painter. She was born in Harlem, New York City, USA on July 30, 1956.
Since 1992 Soraida Martinez has been known as the creator of Verdadism, a contemporary abstract art style where each painting is accompanied by a written social commentary. Soraida is the only artist to write a social statement for every painting that she creates. Viewers are drawn to both the artist's abstract paintings and her bold commentaries on humanity and the universal human condition. According to Soraida, "My art reflects the essence of my true self and the truth within me...My struggle is for recognition, acceptance and inclusion; and, against racism, sexism and the dominant eurocentric male society, which never expected much from me but still did not allow my voice to be heard. My belief is that one must empower oneself with one's own truth..."
