Critics Comments:

  • Clothes don’t make a man, neither formal education an artist. That is the proposal that José Eduardo Martín Yanes presents to us.
    Let's follow him closely, because besides talent and discipline, he has faith and truth. I can't imagine better ingredients to create good art.    "

    Aldito Menéndez López
    from the catalogue "Testimonies", September 1991
  • In his work, Martín Yanes investigates multiple, altered states of consciousness and awakens neuron circuits that lead the individual to solitude, made worse by an infinite gamut of pain."

    Estrella Fresnillo
    From the catalogue " With the vein of the nude", March 2003
  • Through the centuries there have been human beings from all over the world searching constantly for self growth. José Eduardo shows us a path through the juxtaposition of images using printmaking, painting and photography......."
    .....To rid the shadows from our souls is almost a miracle. We ask ourselves if there is a way. In Martíns’ work, we see his search for magic and the sublime, using faith and hope"

    Mercy, journalist from Bohemia
    from the catalogue " Only for Today" , December 2004
  • The work of José Eduardo under such an appealing title, "Seduction of the dawn", leads us to dream with open eyes, which I believe is the only way to make a dream come true”

    Francisco Suéscum Ottati -Embassador from Ecuador
    from the catalogue “Seducing the dawn”, May 2005

Philosophy:
In my art, it is important to show the real experiences of humans, for example pain. In my work, the pain is expressed through the techniques of printmaking, photography and painting. I use the silk as an extension of my hand, to create.
