Welcome back. In this episode, you get to meet Soraida Martinez, creator of the Verdadism Art movement.

Since 1992 Soraida Martinez has been known as the creator of Verdadism, a form of hard-edge abstraction where each painting is accompanied by a written social commentary. The artist’s goal is to promote tolerance and a deeper understanding of humanity through engaging the viewer in a thought-provoking conversation on diversity, empowerment, and social justice.

The interview ran long, so I’ve broken it into two episodes. Part 2 is available now at passionatepainterpodcast.com/episode76
