Evolving - Marta Franco
The Artist
Marta Franco is a visual artist and sculptor born in Turkey. Having begun her artistic education in Lima, Peru under the guidance of Adolfo Winternitz and Anna Maccagno at the Universidad Católica, Franco is currently studying at OCAD, the Ontario College of Art and Design.
Whether drawings or sculptures, Franco’s work can be seen as a series of meditations on the interplay between the human condition and time. The dynamism of movement, of journeys and cycles, of transitions and doorways are marked by the transformations of both the physical and the spiritual. Franco writes, “For me, art is a healing source and it is a great inspiration for hope. What I like to depict in my work are the basic human “momentos” of stages and growth in order to understand them better. It is indeed a big challenge that keeps me going … keeps me alive”.
Franco has exhibited her work both here in Canada and in Lima-Peru. In addition to this current solo exhibition at York University, Franco is preparing to represent Canada at SOFA Chicago, the 14th International Exposition of Sculpture Objects & Functional Art in November 2007.
