“The spirit within the canvas, elusive and enigmatic, unveils itself at its own accord, a revelation that transcends the artist's intention. I am captivated by the unexpected, when serendipitous elements emerge unbidden, embellishing my creation with an ineffable enchantment. It is within these moments of artistic alchemy that my soul takes flight, embracing the exhilaration of this extraordinary journey."

- André Martinez-Reed

Born in Brooklyn, New York, André Martinez-Reed is a multidisciplinary artist with a passion for painting, photography, and music. His art has the power to transport us to different worlds, evoke deep emotions, and challenge our perceptions.

At the heart of abstract expressionism lies a profound sense of freedom, an unbridled desire to explore and create without the constraints of formal structure or convention. And yet, there are those artists who manage to harness this boundless energy and transform it into something truly extraordinary, even transcendent. Such is the case with the work of this painter, whose highly diversified approach to art-making draws on a lifetime of experience as both a drummer and a master craftsman in the building trades. With each stroke of the brush, he channels the rhythms and cadences of his musical past, weaving together bold colors and abstract shapes into a tapestry of unparalleled beauty and depth. To understand his work is to enter into a world of pure sensation, a realm where sound and sight are one, and where the boundaries between art and life dissolve into pure, unadulterated expression.

As a curator and gallery owner, André Martinez-Reed was afforded an additional training ground for absorbing art and honing his own creative vision. This decade served as a formative period in which he gained invaluable insights into the workings of the art world, as well as the opportunity to showcase the work of other talented artists. Over the years, André has continued to evolve and refine his artistic voice, drawing inspiration from the world around him and the rich cultural traditions that inform his work. His passion for painting, photography, and music remains undimmed, and his commitment to excellence unwavering. With each new creation, André Martinez-Reed invites us to explore the boundaries of perception, to delve into the depths of our own consciousness, and to discover the boundless potential of the human spirit.
