"Eugenia's artistic research places the visual, not only as a support for the sensitive, but also places it at the center of critical thinking itself around the cultural constitution of society. Problems of gender, racism, classism, are the main themes that Martínez addresses from a dialectical strategy as a plastic resource that alludes to an organic composition, close to the line of the drawing, and as an enunciation tool. In this sense, the old, anonymous and rescued photographs operate in the body of the artist's work as social traces of cultural practices and symbols that, when intervened with phrases, invoke the ghosts of prejudice that manifest themselves before the image and the word."
