ART BY CAMILO MARTINEZ
Surreal portraits, masks & big eyes a playful journey from grayscale to color.-
JOE HUESO
Joe is my alter ego, my witness, and my guide. His journey is a visual diary of burnout and rebirth — proof that even after we lose our way, we can rediscover color, hope, and ourselves.
-
TROOPERTINA
Masked women who embody rebellion, rhythm, and the fight to be seen. The Troopertinas are the loud, rock-and-roll heartbeat that rose up when everything went dark.
-
BIG EYES
These portraits stare straight into the soul. Big Eyes capture the fragile moments after burnout — when you begin to feel again, vulnerable yet full of new light.
-
ROCK POP
Where my two worlds collide. Explosive, vibrant paintings inspired by the music that saved me — chaotic, electric, and alive with motion.
