Hi! My name is Juvenal Martinez.

I’m a seasoned artist whose passion for creativity ignited at the age of seven. A visit to an art supply store inspired my lifelong dedication to the arts.

My early fascination led me to pursue formal education at the prestigious Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. My time at Art Center is where I honed my skills and deepened my artistic vision.

After establishing a successful career as a commercial illustrator, I’ve since returned to my first love: pastels. This medium allows me to explore new dimensions of expression, blending technical proficiency with personal insight.

My work has appeared in various exhibitions, collections, and in several children’s books, reflecting a commitment to artistic excellence and a deep connection to the creative process.
