TOMÁS MARTÍNEZ

Tomas Eduardo Martínez Mejía, born on September 27, 1973, in Sahagún, Córdoba, developed a passion for art early on, starting formal training at the School of Fine Arts in Santa Marta at age 12. With a Master of Fine Arts from the University of the Atlantic, his work reflects deep explorations of armed conflict, political divisions, and social issues in Colombia. Notable achievements include winning the 2015 District Salon painting prize and exhibiting at the Caribbean Million Fair in 2018 and Bogotá Million Fair in 2023. Tomas’s art powerfully engages with complex societal themes through painting and drawing.
