Evoking a sense of emotion in the likes of works by Mark Rothko, Martínez evokes contrasting portrait in "El Chino Najera" as he showcases intense colors mixed with muted tones to create harmony among the subject. Martínez uses his paintings as a political statement as much as they are personal, and as a leading artist in The Chicano Movement, he dedicates his work to the renaissance of his Mexican-American culture.
