Antonio Martorell has allowed himself the pleasures of performance in drawing, painting, engraving, writing, radio shows, television programs, movies, dance, environmental installations, and other indefinable structures, in a never-ending conversation with art lovers and interlocutors. He was born in Santurce, Puerto Rico, but considers himself Puerto Rican by choice. Martorell is the resident artist and director of the Pío López Martínez Art Museum at the University of Puerto Rico in Cayey. "Toño", as he is affectionately known, keeps workshops in Cayey, Ponce Beach, Hato Rey, and New York City's Barrio. He is the author of two published books: La piel de la memoria ( The Skin of Memory ) and El libro dibujado/ el dibujo librado ( The Drawn Book/The Freed Book ).
