Conchi Martínez was born in Soria (Spain) in 1963 but, shortly after, her family moved to Barcelona where she’s lived since then.
She graduated in Mathematics and worked as a High School teacher until she decided to quit to become a full time photographer, working in the editorial field and developing her personal projects.
Her artistic training comes from diverse photography schools in Barcelona and from workshops given by the MOMA or artists like Fontcuberta, Parr, Webb, Gruyaert...
Her main interests in photography are the everyday life, the identity, the trace of time and trips.
She has published her portfolios in specialized magazines, catalogues and books and since 2004 has exhibited in galleries and Spanish Festivals like FineArt, Fotonoviembre or Outono Fotográfico and also in the Rencontres d’Arles, the Berlin Biennial, Photolux or Kaunas Photo.
In 2007 she received her first artistic recognition, a MUSAC scholarship to her work Interiors. After that, Hortus Botanicus, Diagonal-Cornellà, Landscapes of my memory, Barcepoly and Mediterráneo received diverse international awards and she was invited to do an artist residence in Kaunas.
