The Heart of the Ofrenda: Artist Biography & The History of Día de los Muertos

VICENTE J.C MARTÍNEZ ROMO

Fine artist and multidisciplinary designer, Vicente was born in beautiful Mexico City. His natural love for drawing and art was noticed from an early age. His interest was cultivated by his older brother during adolescence, which encouraged him to finish his degree in industrial design. For that reason, it is not surprising that some of his pieces are related to interior design, practices that the artist has professionally developed.

Another great influence is that of Mexican icon, Ramon Valdiosera Berman creator of the "Mexican pink” with whom he worked for more than ten years in mural painting. Vicente studied a master’s degree in Digital Creative Design, which allowed him to teach at various Universities in Mexico City since 2006. His discipline has allowed him to promote and spread his passion for art and design in new generations.

A true admirer of architecture and Renaissance painting, fascinated by nature, how he represents himself to the world through his gaze and how it has been observed; this is how his attraction of human anatomy came about. The images that Vicente captures within his work are only a small part of a great intrinsic story that opens a window for a broad dialogue with the viewer allowing for a connection to exist. He feels that the artistic exchange between the story that narrates through the image generates a direct connection, which makes them equal and at the same time, different.
