Discover Local Art and Culture
Explore the rich artistic heritage of Curacao through the captivating creations of Rudsel Martinus, born and raised on the island, bringing his passion for art to life in every piece.
I started painting at the age of 13, and at the age of 21 I went to Holland to study art. When I finished I returned home as an art teacher, and worked for 10 years as acting director of the Academy of Arts, and I worked as a lecturer at the Pedagogical Academy and the University of Curaçao. In 2016 I retired.
Currently I have more time to dedicate to visual arts and make rustic furniture, which you see in the apartments. The apartments are in themselves a gallery where tourists can enjoy my works, and I am also currently working on an art garden around the apartments. Every time a tourist visits my gallery/apartment he will encounter changes.
