A self-taught Artist, and naturalist illustrator, ASBA’s member.
I was born in San Carlos a north zone in Costa Rica, Central America.

The first artistic step began from observing and sketching small works of the great masters of history. I was always inclined to realistic art but it was until 2011 that my vision change with the loss of my husband , my teacher and mentor Don Black ( American artist) and I began to explore abstract symbolism in the game of an imaginative universe where I combine geometric elements, abstract shapes and symbols.

My art is like a puzzle game, where I intend for the figures to flow and live together in perfect harmony, I try to evoke a vision of the world, some issues to alert awareness of the reality in which we live and on the other parts of my daily life.

“ I closed my eyes in the midst of my sadness and I found a different world that I could explore and paint”
Martha E. Espinoza
