Artist Statement:
The material doesn't need to
be filled with words. It
speaks for itself. It is our
consciousness that has to
translate it for us.
My work is a loyal mirror of
our societies, a reflection of
a fragment from the thin line
between fiction and reality.

Reviews for Tirzo Martha:

|
Tirzo Martha enters within the tissues of society, converting himself into a missionary of the containing expressions.
His works are echos of opressed screams.
José Alvarez de la Campa, art critic, Willemstad, Curaçao (from the catalogue "Expressions from Curacao").
Tirzo Marhta constantly makes an effort to analyze and to understand the moment that his community lives. The dissertations can be somewhat difficult to clarify by the addressees, but, unlike others, his intellectual level does not decline. His present production is a textbook of complexities, in which the signs and codes distinct themselves from the daily attempts of the contemporary artistic languages, to obtain their educative and professional objectives.
The artist is convinced that educating people requires sacrifices which is more difficult than love and desires. He does not feel any doubt about the necessity to know the collectivity before you can guide it. He knows it, but doesn't cuddle it. The social problems are dealt with by him with sharpnes, turning himself into violator, prosecutor and judge, at the same time. He doesn't do this to create confusion but to extend his contact with the social thermometer.
He's one of the few artists who fight to demonstrate that all can grow, only it is necessary to go out of the ostracism where the daily things accomodate you. His creations do not stop to interrogate: the errors, the vices, the perversions and all evils that coexist in his native island. Tirzo Martha is the young representative with greater creative, intellectual and cognitive force; he is a major influence in the visual arts at the moment in Curacao.
Willemstad, Curacao, 22 june, 2002.
Jose Maria Alvarez de la Campa, Art critic.
