Xim Martínez Barceló
Statement
I am a Mallorcan Illustrator based in Bristol. I have a Philosophy degree from the University of Barcelona (2016), and I am currently finishing my degree in Illustration at UWE.
My work focuses on the study of the human condition through artistic experimentation, always looking and trying to learn from the masters of the past. I understand artistic creation as a handcraft, for which I use a variety of processes that go from traditional techniques such as watercolour or ink drawing to digital painting.
Achievements & Experience
Graduated in Philosophy in 2016 from the University of Barcelona
Featured Projects:
Drawing I did for a narrative project about older people. This a study for a character of that narrative. Illustration for a University project about older people. Here I wanted to show how the passage of time crystallizes on the skin and understand the body as a canvas of the past experiences of a person.
Entry I presented to the Bristol Short Story Prize cover competition. It is sad to see someone get wasted: seeing his flesh leak like hot wax. Page four of a short story I drew for a University project. Illustration for a University project about Old people.
