How it started...

Edmarie Martinez, born and raised in the exotic island of Puerto Rico. As a child she was always surrounded by art and creativity. However, it was not until the year 2021 that she discovered her true passion. On her way to discovery, she listened to her inner voice, grabbed her old sketchbook and decided to complete an unfinished drawing. Little did she know that this simple act would ignite an undeniable spark within her.

Growing up, art was always present in Edmarie's family. Whether it be through drawings, paintings, music, or dance, artistic expression was encouraged and celebrated. However, it was looked as a hobby not a career, it was engraved in her mind the starving artist mentality. Like many artists, she never pursued a formal education in art.  Instead, she chose to follow the path of science, thinking that art could never offer the financial stability she desired.

It was not until a pivotal moment in her life that Edmarie felt a shift within herself. She felt deep in her gut that her life had a greater purpose, and she turned to God for guidance. Drawing and painting had always been her escape, but now, her passion started to grow beyond just a hobby. She wanted to learn more, to master her skills and to grow as an artist.

This desire to expand her artistic abilities led Edmarie to find the Milan Art Institute. With unwavering belief in her talents, she made the bold decision to enroll in the Mastery Program. It was here that she truly honed her skills and discovered her true potential as an artist.

As Edmarie fully immersed herself in the world of art, her life underwent a remarkable transformation. She began to see the underlying beauty within herself and made a conscious choice to believe in her abilities. Her journey towards self-discovery and creative expression became a powerful force that shaped her identity. By opening the doors to endless possibilities, she has embraced her true self and is ready to explore all that the world of art has to offer. With unwavering passion and a newfound sense of purpose, Edmarie Martinez has embarked on a creative journey that knows no limits.
