Maria Sonia Martin (1951) was born in Havana, Cuba. She has been living in the United States since 1962, first in Yonkers, New York and in Miami, Florida since 1968. Maria Sonia received an Associate in Arts Degree from Miami Dade College (1983) and Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art degree from Florida International University (1986). She has received numerous awards including the Betty Laird Perry Purchase Award. She has exhibited her work widely throughout the United States and abroad. Her work is included in the permanent collections of the Frost Art Museum, the Holland and Knight Corporate Art Collection and the Miami Art Guide Magazine (MAG) Corporate Art Collection. Maria Sonia Martin continues to live and work in Miami, Florida.
Her artistic singularity is nothing that she had ever planned. Discovering one’s uniqueness is of the utmost importance if an artist is to do honest work. She’s no longer look to the outside world for inspiration. That which motivates her to create, to express, is within her own being. She use the human figure as the vehicle to express that which is personally within her.
She creates a setting for a viewer to engage in emotional and spiritual ‘conversations’ with the subject in the work. Here, the viewer interacts with another ‘human being’ who is expressing his or her innermost concerns and feelings, freely to those interested. It is a private and intimate meeting, an interchange at a deeper human level which unites two entities by means of common grounds. This exhibit presents a selection of work from Martin’s color series and black & white series consisting of original acrylic, oil, watercolor and ink paintings developed over the last 13 years.
“The artwork that I produce addresses the interior world of man. This interior world is universal to all men and unites us as one people regardless of our cultural or geographical differences. Here, we meet as equal human beings and find understanding and tolerance for the differences that divide us.”

Su singularidad artística no es nada que haya planeado. Descubrir la singularidad de uno es de suma importancia si un artista debe hacer un trabajo honesto. Ya no busca el mundo exterior en busca de inspiración. Lo que la motiva a crear, a expresar, está dentro de su propio ser. Ella usa la figura humana como vehículo para expresar lo que está personalmente dentro de ella.
Ella crea una configuración para que un espectador participe en 'conversaciones' emocionales y espirituales con el sujeto en el trabajo. Aquí, el espectador interactúa con otro "ser humano" que está expresando sus inquietudes y sentimientos más íntimos, libremente a los interesados. Es una reunión privada e íntima, un intercambio en un nivel humano más profundo que une dos entidades por medio de motivos comunes. Esta exhibición presenta una selección de obras de la serie de color y serie en blanco y negro de Martin, que consta de pinturas originales de acrílico, óleo, acuarela y tinta desarrolladas durante los últimos 13 años.
"La obra de arte que produzco aborda el mundo interior del hombre. Este mundo interior es universal para todos los hombres y nos une como un solo pueblo, independientemente de nuestras diferencias culturales o geográficas. Aquí, nos encontramos como seres humanos iguales y encontramos comprensión y tolerancia para las diferencias que nos dividen ".
