Berto Martínez (Barcelona, 1973) has depicted emblematic spaces in the city of Barcelona with industrial brush strokes embracing the variations of daytime light. A sense of unreality pervades his canvases, where architecture and urban design occupy a world devoid of human presence. The artist has worked with landscape and the reinterpretation of the old masters and has experimented with conceptual art. In his work physical space meets and fuses with the pictorial plane.
