SE02-EP12 - Jel Martinez
Jel Martinez, a Cuban American artist born in Miami, draws inspiration from graffiti and the process of vandalism removal. An original member of the Ink Heads Crew, his work reflects the layers and textures of urban walls, merging expressionism with contemporary “buffs”—the patterns left by city cleanup
crews. His paintings capture the dynamic interplay of creation, deconstruction, and decay, evoking the history and texture of city walls. Martinez’s unique style, which he calls “urban abstraction,” incorporates acrylic, enamel, oil, and ink to form vibrant, layered compositions rooted in the urban landscape.
