Virgen de la caridad del Cobre
This piece is a deeply personal and spiritual homage to Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre, the patroness of Cuba and a powerful symbol of hope and protection in the Caribbean and Latin America.
Inspired by faith, heritage, and the struggles of migration and resilience, the painting blends tradition with surrealist elements, incorporating Martinez’s signature expressive style. The Madonna and Child take center stage, exuding an aura of compassion and guidance, while celestial angels frame the composition, emphasizing the divine presence. Below, the figures in the water represent pilgrims and seekers of faith, mirroring the journey of many who have sought refuge and strength in her grace.
The text, “Mater – Charity Brought on the Waves of the Sea”, speaks to the legend of her miraculous appearance to sailors, reinforcing the theme of protection through turbulent times. The deep blues and warm golds create a rich contrast, symbolizing both the vast unknown and the light of faith that guides us through it.
More than a religious icon, this artwork is a reflection of perseverance, hope, and the enduring role of spirituality in the face of hardship.
