Artist Statement Award winning International artist by American Oil Painter Al Martinez was born and raised in San Francisco, California.
At the age of seven,he realized his innate artistic abilities while taking a children's art workshop at the De Young Museum SF; "I liked the atmosphere and environment of the museum; I was in awe of it, and decided I wanted to become a artist.Drawing and art always came to me naturally" I attended the California College of Fine Arts and devoted myself to oil painting on canvas.
Mr. Martinez's themes deal with landscape,seascape,wildlife,mechanical,and industrial.His strong definite style appeals to collectors internationally.
