Keshia Martinez

From a young age, I was drawn to the expressive power of drawing and painting. As a teenager, I discovered a natural ability to replicate images, finding joy in translating what I saw into visual form. However, like many artists, life’s practical paths led me away from my creative passions for a time. Though my brushes lay still, the pull of painting never left my heart.

The last few years I returned to painting—not as a pastime, but as a calling. It felt like a gift, rediscovered and reawakened, meant to be shared. My work is rooted in my love for music, fashion and makeup, anything pop-culture. I love using texture, like textiles and rhinestones to transform my art. Not only can you see my art but really feel the art work right on your finger tips. 

To me art is not only about what is seen, but what is felt. Through my paintings, I aim to create a space where my audience can reconnect with their own inner world—how they feel, who they are, and what brings them joy.
