Visual Artist and creative professional, my images capture the beauty of small intimate moments.
Born in Mexico, Mirella Martinez immigrated to the US with her family at a young age, and grew up in Oklahoma. After attending Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota FL, she spent the following years traveling between Oklahoma and the West Coast. Currently based out of Stillwater, OK, she continues to make photographs and handbound books among other visual art that questions the way we look at and interact with the world around us.
“Most of my work is based on the ephemeral intimate moments, both our own and those shared with others. Much of my practice draws from memory and the nostalgia attached to our emotions and how our perceptions of them shift as we go throughout life. In a sense my intent is to visually deconstruct our simulation and break it down to an almost abstract form.”
