Specializing in original paintings, fine art prints, sculpture and exhibitions by renowned multicultural artists

Soraida Martinez is an artist, designer, writer and social advocate born 1956 in Harlem, New York City to parents of Puerto Rican heritage, 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.
