Nolasco Martinez Vera

In May 1961, Nolasco Martinez Vera took his first breath of scented Veracruzano air in a little pubelo called Castillo de Teayo. It must have been a very big breath indeed for Nolasco has accomplished a great deal in his 39 years of existence. During the course of his education he became fascinated by poetry and through poetry was enticed by art as well as music. And while his mind was attempting to assimilate the beauty of these three Muses he managed to earn himself a degree in architecture.

Although Nolasco continues to write poetry his forte is definitely painting. His magnificent watercolors are color intensive albeit his subject matter is usually – ollas of clay, Mexican style, water pots. When asked which came first, the poetry or the painting, he answered that each was sometimes responsible for the other regarding his originality. But why clay water pots? Why ollas? Because explains Nolasco, the ollas are made from the clay of the earth and we, each of us, will be returned to the earth, and the pots hold the essence of life – water as a  symbolism of the soul. Some of his works have a slight slant toward the surrealism, as you gaze into one of his you will find yourself entering into two separate landscapes. What you thought was a wall begins to fade into another landscape, or you may think there is a wall and window to find the window is suspended in the sky.  It would require considerable more than a thousand words to accurately describe Nolasco’s ollas Consequently, Ignacio Flores Autunes, publisher of the glossy quarterly Arte & Artistas The most important periodical for art in México, Published an eight page color spread of his works and poetry.
