Canvas Portfolio
I'm a VJ, audiovisual artist and designer. My artwork has evolved around the creation of loops and the animation of photographs, basing my main exploration on the surreal landscapes, collage and organic textures. I'm also a musician, producer and a tireless researcher in love with the process of imagining what is about to take place.
I understand that the canvas is a framework in itself and I work according to the fact that the piece reaches its maximum potential, resignifying or promoting the message of the musical piece, putting the visual at the service of the music. As a VJ and a Live performer I learned to synchronize music and image with enough impact; my work is based on finding an appropriate concept that summarizes the spirit of a song (or an album) keeping in mind that rhythm and energy are as important as colors, shapes and movement. I like to find the exact point where the visual and the music coincide as pieces that seem to have been created together, even if they are self-sustaining arworks that were built independently.
We can start working from a cover (or any other pre-existing image) or create an ideal visual concept for your track from scratch. I can suggest starting points or we can explore together until we find the perfect raw material. If you prefer, I will keep you up to date on the evolution of the project to ensure that we are moving on the right path.
I can also work in video editing, 3D animation, live visuals design, mapping, live set design with Ableton and Resolume and audio post production.

I absolutely loved working with Martín. They were thoughtful and clear while building on my initial them. I enjoyed our back and forth ideas and felt I had an opportunity to incorporate some of my own ideas into the mix. I will definitely hire Martín again.

Martin never ceases to amaze. He has the ability to listen to the broad strokes of visual design and themes I'm looking for in my music and then turn that into something fresh, original, surprising, and delightful. It's clear that Martin listens deeply to the music he's working with to pick up on the vibe and provide the best visual representation possible to please both the musical artist and the listener. Martin sees the big picture but is also very attentive to the smallest detail.

Martín made me a beautiful spotify canvas for my first single, so I went back for 3 more and he blew me away again. He is creative and personable. You can put your full trust in him to deliver something amazing. For my next release, you can be sure I'll be reaching out to Martín again.

Martin did another fantastic job with creative, original imagery and animated lyrics that brought the music to life. Martin goes above and beyond and puts his heart and soul into his work, and as a musician, I can only be respectful and grateful for his artistic commitment. Martin is easy to communicate with, trustworthy, and always reliable in getting the job done on time.

Excellent artist, catched the feel of my tune and made a great canvas based on my cover art. Communication was perfect.

I've worked with Martín on several projects starting with a Canvas, and from there, pushing the boundaries of social media promotional and YouTube videos. We explored new styles and approaches and worked with video editing, 3D realistic animation, sketch style, surreal collage style, watercolor painting style, and he made a lyric video in 2D flat animation for my newest song. Martin is a truly reliable and creative professional. I can't wait to work with him again!

I can't recommend Martin enough. The way he transposes my music and creates a beautiful cover. His ideas that he implements and makes it a work of art. There is always a lot of detail. Thanks Martin
Project 4 - check_circleVerified
We used Martin to produce a Canvas for our single "Right Now" and were totally pleased, so we went back to the well for our new single "Live Again" and Martin didn't disappoint. The Canvas he produced was amazing and even though we requested a change at the last minute, he did it with ease and enthusiasm. We would highly recommend him.

Martin was once again superb to work with on the release of my new single. He stepped in at a moment's notice to steady the ship and help me get a creative video released to accompany the track. Martin kept me appraised of his progress throughout the project and went above and beyond to deliver new compelling creativity to make my music stand out. I'd work with him again in a heartbeat! He also provides excellent value.

Our band D2UR was releasing a new single on October 1, 2022 and at the last minute we decided we wanted to have a Canvas made for the release. Upon selecting Martin, he completed the artwork quickly and under tight time frames and he was very easy to work with. We more or less gave Martin carte blanche to do what he wanted except for a bit of a vision we provided, and he came up with a terrific visual for the song. We highly recommend him for your project.

Working with Martìn has been a real pleasure. He was very attentive and understood my wishes very quickly and well (the theme, the atmosphere I wanted, etc.). He then showed a great imagination and a real talent in the implementation of these ideas. I highly recommend working with him!
