SORAIDA MARTINEZ, CREATOR OF VERDADISM |
Soraida
Martinez is an contemporary American artist of Puerto Rican heritage born 1956 in Harlem, New York City. Soraida is not only an artist, but also a writer and social advocate who since 1992 has been known as the creator of
Verdadism, a form of hard-edge abstraction in which every
painting is accompanied by a written social commentary. For
over 15 years, Soraida has been raising awareness of racism,
sexism, stereotyping, ethnocentrism and the social conditions
that are just now are being openly discussed in mainstream
American society. Through the art of Verdadism, Soraida documents
her own life experiences and her personal views on the universal
human condition for the purpose of promoting tolerance and
a deeper understanding of the human soul.
