Artist Profile

Victoria Martínez
Uruguayan visual artist
Victoria Martínez is a Uruguayan audiovisual producer and visual artist whose practice bridges decades of cinematic storytelling with a deeply personal exploration of memory and everyday life. With over 25 years of experience in film, advertising, and documentary production, and formal studies in Communication at ORT University and Cinematographic Direction at Séptima ARS in Madrid, Victoria brings a filmmaker’s eye for framing, light, and narrative to her paintings. Rooted in the sensory imprints of her grandmother’s home, her work transforms ordinary objects (tiles, teacups, plates of food) into vessels of collective memory. Through her art, Victoria defends leisure as a vital form of resistance and reflection, inviting viewers to slow down, to feel, and to rediscover beauty in the simplest details of daily life.
