Semblance of Martha Madrigal:

From an early age she enjoyed creating images, settings, characters, a mixture of fiction and reality. Her most remarkable quality was a relentless curiosity and an imaginative mind. She spent her childhood next to a family in Mexico City. Years later they would move to the city of Colima. She concluded professional studies in Architecture in the city of Guadalajara, where she became familiar with the theoretical and philosophical concepts of the discipline. This contact would awaken an immense desire to understand the thought that accompanies the creative genius. At the end of her degree, she practiced the profession in various offices in Mexico City, focusing on the area of ​​ design. Over time, she saw in the v isual arts the ideal medium to express the inner world that she wanted to convey. Her change towards the arts was gradual, she initially entered the area of ​​ thought, she studied a diploma in philosophy at the University of Berkeley and a diploma on Heidegger at the Faculty of Architecture of the UNAM, in 2009. In 2011 he entered the Faculty of Arts and Design at UNAM, to pursue a postgraduate degree in Visual Arts, and continued his training in drawing and painting at the San Carlos Academy and at the Saul Serrano Contemporary Art Center, at the Mexico City. Drawing, painting, and illustration were the languages ​​ that allowed her to capture her vision of the world. As of 2016, in collaboration with two artists, she prints illustrations on porcelain and textiles, under the name of Otter Sisters, the pieces are produced in Barcelona and distributed in design and memorabilia stores. Her work explores dwelling as an inherent quality of the human being. Implies the life cycle, the need of nurture and to be mothered transferred to a common elements from the physical world; it evokes a different meaning of the entity itself and display us a new dimension of the reality that we reside. In her work permeates symbolism related to philosophical issues that concern from the course of civilizations until our contemporary society. Such interests are embodied in the work avatars, lost cities, androids, in which she questions the dimensions of reality, and the relevance of a world that interacts with artificial life in aspects close to the natural world. Her thought is influenced by thinkers as Byung Chul Han, Peter Handke, Robert Musil, and from visual artists as Kazimir Malevich, Marcel Duchamp, Georg Stefanescu, Gerhard Richter, and Georgia O’Keeefe , among others. Along with the creation of illustrations in different techniques, she founds difficult expressing her reflections in a unique way of painting. As every Serie requests its own way of being represented, it can be challenging limit the expression in media and materials.
