Arjan Martins conduz ao encontro com o oceano, em diálogo com a diáspora negra. Na construção figurativa de seu repertório em relação ao Atlântico, o artista apresenta o mar como arquivo e memória a serem consultados, por meio de imagens e poéticas que inscrevem múltiplas travessias e trânsitos em torno desse espaço. Como explica o próprio artista: “Tento transformar vozes e sons de livros de história, palavras escritas, palavras faladas e citações em retratos imaginários”. Martins propõe uma renovação plástica, convidando à observação de embarcações, símbolos, cores e sujeitos pretos coletivizados em suas telas. Dessa forma, reivindica uma agenda racial no presente, articulando questões relativas aos elementos culturais, às iconografias e cartografias, mantendo o continente africano em consonância com o Brasil negro.

[Arjan Martins invites us into a dialogue with the ocean, in conversation with the Black diaspora. Through his work, the Atlantic emerges as both an archive and a living memory, conveyed through images and poetic gestures that trace multiple crossings and movements. As the artist himself explains, “I try to transform voices and sounds from history books, written words, spoken words, and quotations into imaginary portraits.” His paintings suggest a formal renewal, focusing on vessels, symbols, colors, and collective Black figures that form networks of intertwined histories. Through this, Martins asserts a present-day racial consciousness, weaving together cultural elements, iconographies, and cartographies, while keeping Africa in deep resonance with Black Brazil.]
