Florencia Martinez was born in Buenos Aires in 1962. Her mother is originally from Italy.
As a painter, she finds inspiration in poetry: poets represent for her the source from which she can draw values worth living by.
One of these values is the reconstruction of one’s own memory; thus she decides to move to Italy in 1990.
This artwork is from the series "Nuovo Mondo" was made in 2012 and paintend on account pages from 1955. After the subprime morgages crises, 2012 was also the year of the Maya Doomsday, so the author asks if it represents the end of the world, or a new beginning.
The artwork is framed, signed by the author and tagged by the Art Gallery "Il Vicolo", Genoa, Italy.
