José Luis Martinat creates textile art in techniques including embroidery. His concept is based on the belief in a better future, as it is reflected in western, political, economical and religious discourse – an idea of progress that has been passed on to the rest of the world, aided by, among others, the Catholic Church. José Luis Martinat employs a traditional technique – common in religious art – of applying gold and silver thread, in his case to plastic materials used in the building industry.
