BIOGRAPHY
Martín Vic is a Spanish hyperrealist painter from Seville, born into a middle-class family and raised in an environment that valued dedication and craftsmanship. With over twenty years of experience, he has developed a distinctive style rooted in oil painting on canvas, blending rigorous technique with emotional depth. His paintings explore the soul of his subjects—each work a reflection of lived experience, choice, and memory rendered with photographic precision and artistic sensitivity.
Martín studied art in Spain, where he refined his mastery of classical techniques such as grisaille, glazing, and detailed brushwork, while embracing contemporary approaches to hyperrealism. His process involves meticulous preparation, from treating supports and applying varnishes to working with his whole idea of the world. Each piece becomes a dialogue between reality and interpretation, technique and emotion.
Throughout his career, Martín has exhibited extensively across Europe and Latin America, including prominent international art fairs like Art Madrid, Luxembourg Art Fair, and Art Chico in Bogotá, where he was featured as an invited international artist. He has also participated in prestigious group exhibitions and salons, such as the SIDAV International Visual Arts Salon in Barcelona.
His work has garnered critical recognition, including being named a finalist in Spain’s 50th International Painting Competition of Fuente Álamo and the Indalecio Hernández Painting Contest. Through his precise yet profoundly human paintings, Martín Vic captures not only what we see, but what we feel—transforming realism into something transcendental.
