Martinez's latest group of paintings, many executed during the lockdown of 2020, reveal a new mastery of his skills in joining together abstraction and representation in painting. Included in this publication is Martinez's series of <i>White Out</i> paintings, in which he layers white paint over colored lines to create summarily depicted yet familiar figures like heads and flowers in a vase.
