Welcome to part 2 of my interview with Latina artist 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.

If you haven’t yet listened to part 1, I highly recommend you go back and listen to that first, to hear her bio and her overview of the artistic movement she founded called Verdadism. You can find it at passionatepainterpodcast.com/episode75

And you’ll definitely want to check out the video of this interview to see images of the paintings she discusses in her overview of the movement, on this show notes page, along with images of her work.
