- So trips were an influence on your art?

"When I started working on the street, I started with photography. He had a series of photos he had taken in of Coroico Yungas (Bolivia) and sold on the street. Gradually I began to incorporate other techniques such as etching and then threw me to painting with acrylics. One day I was painting a little way and then I started to paint Nicholas, but with a more naive not pulled the photos. And little by little was left to sell and I lost myself in my paintings, "he says.

Marta had to travel began to recognize its original identity. "For several years I took a lot to take care of my roots because I felt discriminated girl. And when I started traveling my mom always asked me 'why do not you go to Bolivia? " and I wondered 'Why do I have to go in Bolivia? " And it had to do with a theme of taking charge of my roots, my culture, because at that time felt that he was prepared to accept that part of my story, "says the artist with a smile on his face.
"After touring Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela and Mexico, I traveled through northern Argentina and felt I had lost to know beautiful places. When I went to Chiapas, Mexico, my mom saw the pictures and told me that the landscape was very similar to Bolivia for the people's clothing and features. And when I finally went to Bolivia could not believe it. I could not understand how I had gone so far to find something that was so near. " From that moment, Marta did not stop to admire and paint the landscapes of the country where his mother was born. Forms

While Marta girl he liked art, big was adding new artistic techniques that enriched their work. After making an initiation workshop to painting, the artist chose printmaking techniques and drawing. "I discovered a world with the engraving" he says. "There are different techniques depending on the materials with which you work. Now I'm making copper plate engravings, with two totally different techniques. Working with different materials and techniques but always with the same subject. I complement it, "he enthuses.
His paintings, which draw the attention of anyone passing by walking the pedestrian (tourist or not), know accurately reflect their experiences, their Andean identity, through the human figures and perfect use of colors, lights and shadows. In addition, depicts landscapes that seem to evoke sunsets on the Isla del Sol and Copacabana. "I like to show through my art where I come from. People come and ask and I like to tell you what interests me reflect. For me it was a joy to discover that the other people were interested in my work. And through I related to paint people who had also traveled and has more head open. The good thing is that you comment on travel and spend your data ", told the artist, who is currently traveling in Bolivia.
- Do you think that there is now greater acceptance of Latin American culture in our country?
- I think after 2001 there was a big change. The Argentinian became aware that is part of Latin America. Lacked that shock to realize that. I also think that a change in the whole of South America, for example with Evo (Morales), who claims the Bolivian people. Although Buenos Aires is the center of Argentina, I think you also have to look the other way. And a little bit of Buenos Aires are becoming interested in traveling and looking for the interior. That's good. Are also being charged in this country that there are different cultures.
