Victoria Martinez is an interdisciplinary artist who honors her Mexican-American ancestry through textile-based projects including painting and public art. Her work is inspired by ancient sites, architecture, and the urban environment. Martinez has exhibited at venues including the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, CT, the National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago, IL, the McNay Art Museum in San Antonio, TX, and Museo Universitario Del Chopo in Mexico City.
Her work has been supported by The Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library Research Fellowship at Yale University, the Actos de Confianza Grant through the National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures (NALAC), and a travel grant through the Theaster Gates Rebuild Foundation. She holds a BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (2010) and an MFA from Yale University School of Art in Painting and Printmaking (2020). Recent projects include solo exhibitions at the Poetry Foundation in Chicago and Mindy Solomon Gallery in Miami, and a group exhibition at the Arizona State University Art Museum. Upcoming projects include a group exhibition with The Latinx Project at New York University.
