“Weavings, patterns of nerves, mental projections prefiguring misleading ideas of possible maps -these are some of the resources Cipriano Martinez uses to draw a landscape. Nobody can encounter his work with an innocent gaze. All have the favourable prejudice that art always means something, because the lack of a name confounds, torments, and unhinges pure reason.”
Andres Isaac Santana. ArtNexus. No. 60. Volume 5. Year 2006.
