ABRAHAM MARTINEZ N.: "I was born on December 11, 1978. My parents are Carlos Martinez Zumba and Maria lbone Navarro Martinez. I have 4 brothers. I have studied my primary studies and then I
started with the high school that still I am studying it.
"When I was 14 years old I knew about the Usko-Ayar Amazonian School of Painting. A friend invited me and then I started to study first drawing and then painting, doing beautiful things. Also I understand now that an amazonic must value all that is around me, so it is wonderful what I am learning in Usko-Ayar, for giving small talks about different subjects, Pablo Amaringo makes of us as a sculptor can do with clay or wood for being good artists in future.
"I am learning theatre in the school with the help of a Colombian actor who is studying and teaching theatre in Usko-Akar - that is also so beautiful. In my free time I write my diary and my hobby is to collect bracelets and I play football and basketball.
"My mother has died two years ago. I miss a lot to her and I would like her to have been with me but I can not. I have many friends and I like to be always happy, and making jokes but I hate lying. When I start painting I inspire myself to make a beautiful painting with much love and enthusiam."
You can take a walking tour through the paintings of the young Usko-Ayar artists of the Amazon Project, or you can take a shortcut to see all the artists in the gallery. These paintings are available for purchase from The Electric Gallery. We'd also appreciate your giving us your comments on our presentation.
