EMBODIMENT #22
BY MARTINA SESTAKOVA
About “Embodiment #22” … In my “Embodiment” se - ries, I am exploring the hu - man body’s capacity to al - ways reside in the present while our minds may be reliving the past or imag- ining the future.

cess: many steps that can be easily erased and/or recreated as I work on a non-porous paper called Yupo. Acrylic inks slide around on the surface and I use rubber brushes to create bold movements and contrasts of textures before the paint dries. The main driving forces - in search of embodied living - are my body’s messages in the particular moment. Martina Sestakova engages in wearable art, painting, and art education. Martina creates scarves that invoke inspirational stories from life experiences. Her scarves have been featured on Voice of America and at the Smithsonian National Gallery of Art and American Art Museum in Washington, DC. In her artworks on Yupo, she communicates the meaning of words through colors and textures and explores healing and mindful aspects of art through abstraction. Martina also creates a colorful collection of heart paintings and black-and-white il- lustrations on greeting cards. As an art educator, Martina brings creative projects to communities with limited access to the arts. Martina Sestakova resides in Kensington, MD.
