Distance
- Enrique Martínez Celaya, Cuban, 1964
- Born: Havana, Cuba
- Work Locations: Los Angeles, CA
Enrique Martinez Celaya’s works represent an ongoing search for meaning, by exploring the cause and effect of living and understanding. The figures in Celaya's painting “Distance” appear to materialize from the ether of his dark, celestial skyscape. A captivating element is the space or 'distance' between the older and younger figures, which is accentuated by a luminous pointed arch. With this work, Celaya explores the experience of human interaction beyond the boundaries of corporeality.
Enrique Martínez Celaya was born in Havana, Cuba in 1964. Five years after the end of the Cuban Revolution, he immigrated to Spain in 1972. Three years later, he and his family moved to Puerto Rico. He holds a B.S. in Applied Physics and Electrical Engineering from Cornell University (1986), an M.S. in Quantum Physics from the University of California, Berkeley (1989), and a M.F.A. in Painting and Sculpture from the University of California, Santa Barbara (1994).
