Aleida Martínez - Contemporary Artist
Born in Bogotá, Colombia. I currently live in Bienne, Switzerland.
My work is mainly introspective and explores the relationship between the" self " and the " others ", through the use of mixed techniques, privileging embroidery, drawing, photography and textile sculpture. My interest is to explore identity-building relationships such as sexuality, gender, death and language and to question in these, the received ideas of "normal" and "natural".
