About The Work
Planeta Perola II (yellow) is a beautiful image from an artist who never stops experimenting with form, medium, or subject. The central jewel is luminous and tactile. Martins first conceived of this work when she was leafing through a jewelry catalog from Sotheby's. A pearl necklace caught her eye, so she photographed the catalog page and then manipulated the format and color until it became the composition we see today. Through her eyes, the flat image of a jewel becomes an organic form, a world within itself. In the spirit of this realization, she named the work "Planet Pearl."
