Adrian Martinez - Animals Home
In their ancient association with humans, animals have often been used in art and literature as
religious symbols and to personify virtues, vices and other human attributes. Their symbolic resonance has always played a role in Martinez's work. But Martinez
also likes to take a long, detailed and, at times, whimsical look at the personality of each creature he depicts on canvas. Whether he is painting the velvety coat
of a huge Brahman bull, or the curious intensity of a barnyard cat, his animals have the same depth and character that appear in his best portraits of humans.
