Antonio (“Toño”) Martorell (b. 1939) is a Puerto Rican multi-media artist, educator, and writer, and a pillar of Caribbean contemporary art history. An intellectual, an artist of artists, and an artist of and for the people, Martorell‘s prolific body of work spans over six decades, consistently making references to the histories, diversity and resilience of Puerto Rican culture in face of adversity. Martorell’s artistic practice dissects and reveals encoded systems within culture and daily life by examining the intersections of language, the imaginary of self-representation and public spaces.
