ROBERTO MARTÍN
ROBERTO MARTÍN lives and works in Sestao (Bizkaia) Spain.
Roberto Martín’s first exposition took place in 1976. In
his long career he has presented many important exhibitions and events, both in Spain : Bilbao, San Sebastián, Málaga, Vitoria, Madrid, Barcelona, Granada, Cádiz, Badajoz, Toledo, Salamanca, Jaén, Argentina, Polonia, Francia, Uruguay, Brasil, Yugoslavia, Alemania,Suecia, Dinamarca, Japón, Malta, Bulgaria, Estados Unidos (San Francisco, Nueva York, Miami) y
etc…) and his works are to found in public spaces
and private collections both nationally and internationally.
In his work Roberto Martín gives visible form to that
which was and is no more, or that which remains, but
will very soon cease to be, weaving that which is only
glimpsed and the well-known yet without renouncing
mystery.
On the verge of the 21st century he rediscovers
the vastness of sentiment and yet does not separate an
aptitude for raw emotion from reflexive thought. He does
not set the “I think therefore I am” up against “I feel
therefore I am”, but complements it. The quest for new
pathways of expression; a meticulous elaboration laden
with interior resonances imbues each work with a life of
its own and an unnerving beauty. A work to be solved
