What it means to be an artist | Alberto Martinez | TEDxBrighton

Alberto will tell us the story of how he has spent his life experiencing art in different ways and then defining what it means to be an artist.
Alberto will teach you how he approaches understanding art and will leave you with a set of new ideas about how to communicate through creativity.
Alberto is an artist, well known for his surreal approach to painting cityscapes such as Brighton and London. Born in Cuba into a family of farmers, Alberto has had a colourful and varied life. Having spent some of his informative years in Cuba and Trinidad, his story of learning to be artist is full of strange and remarkable influences, from political and economic to cultural and environmental.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

Your story today made a difference! Such an inspired, wonder-filled, and insightful communication of art's role, of your life, process, and talent. And the work was a "fantastic" analogy. Your understanding helped me believe in the purpose of my small corner - I won't forget. Thank you, Alberto Martinez, and may God bless you.
