Born in Santiago de Chile, Isabel M. Martinez is a chilean-spaniard artist currently living in Toronto,
whose photo-based works have been exhibited in Chile, the UK and Canada.

The focus of Martinez' art practice has been to investigate the limits of the photographic medium, as well as our human capacity to experience time and draw connections betweent the two. Though photography instantly consigns each moment to the past, there can exist a present tense for the viewer and this duality can be used to call time itself into question. Non-linear narratives, simultaneity, juxtapositions and a cinematic approach to photography are features of her work.
