Ro Martinez

A self taught visual artist, Ro Martinez believes in creativity without restriction blending abstract and op-art with ease to create one-of-a-kind pieces. She lives and works in Inverness, FL.

Ro's creative journey began in 1980 painting 3 murals in New York. She launched her professional art path in 2017 after a 34 year commercial acting and modeling career.

Ro works with acrylics in black and white mixing a rainbow of colors inspired by her Colombian heritage to merge geometric patterns with abstraction. She uses her passion for love stories to move the viewer so they feel the healing power of art.

Looking at the world through artistic eyes Ro is often accused of wearing rose colored glasses. She is inspired by tall trees with sun rays coming through and sunsets, especially since no two are alike. Her influences are Piet Mondrian for his use of color and Victor Vasarely for his patterns.

Her work has hung in galleries in Pinellas and Citrus counties. She has entered juried shows and won several awards. Ro’s geometric work takes control, her abstract art is the absence of control, blending the two is pure jubilation to her. She’s currently creating a love story series examining love of self, lover, friends, family and God.
