The artist spent four months visiting shelters as well as non-governmental organizations that provide assistance and support to women and other identities that have been victims of gender violence in Puerto Rico. During this period, she engaged the communities through games, workshops and conversations, inviting each participant to construct a doll as a self-portrait that embodies their experience of violence and, eventually, healing. The dozens of dolls that comprise I’m Gonna Get You… Body, Woman, Rupture make up a solid piece of collective authorship that makes visible and denounces the magnitude of the intensity of the problem of gender violence in Puerto Rico, as well as its complexity of possible solutions.

Marta Pérez García: Exploring Trauma and Resilience Through Sculpture

Marta Pérez García, born in Arecibo, Puerto Rico in 1965, is a Puerto Rican artist whose work delves into profound themes of vulnerability, resilience, and the enduring impact of trauma—particularly gender violence. Her artistic journey began with formal training at Louisiana State University where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1987, followed by an MFA from Tyler School of Art and Architecture at Temple University in Philadelphia in 1993. These formative experiences instilled a meticulous approach to craft and a dedication to confronting difficult subjects with sensitivity and artistic innovation.

Early Influences: García’s artistic vision was shaped by her upbringing in Puerto Rico, where she absorbed the rich cultural heritage of the island—a tradition deeply rooted in storytelling and symbolism.
Technique: She is renowned for her distinctive woodcarving reduction process, a technique that involves painstakingly sculpting wooden boards to create intricate figures destined for printmaking. This method demands patience, precision, and an unwavering commitment to detail, mirroring the artist’s meticulous exploration of complex emotional landscapes.

The Sculptural Exploration of Trauma
García's artistic focus shifted dramatically in recent years toward addressing the pervasive issue of gender violence. Recognizing the silence surrounding this critical concern—particularly within marginalized communities—she embarked on ambitious multimedia projects designed to amplify voices and foster dialogue. Her installations often incorporate collaborative efforts with local organizations, empowering survivors and transforming spaces into platforms for reflection and action.

Notable Projects: Among her accomplishments is the I’m Gonna Get You installation at the Reeves Center, which powerfully confronts gender violence through a striking assemblage of sculptural elements.

Recognition: García has received prestigious artist fellowships from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, furthering her commitment to artistic experimentation and social engagement.

A Legacy of Symbolic Imagery
Her prints are characterized by a mesmerizing dance between repetition and rupture—a visual language that reflects García’s exploration of duality and transformation. Large images draw viewers into minute details, revealing layers of meaning and inviting contemplation on the complexities of human experience. The artist's use of geometric patterns alongside figurative representations underscores her ability to convey both intellectual rigor and emotional depth.

Collections: García’s artworks are held in prominent collections including Museo Arte de Puerto Rico, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Puerto Rico, and the Library of Congress, Washington DC.

Contemporary Relevance
Marta Pérez García continues to push boundaries within contemporary art, experimenting with structural paper making and securing residencies at Pyramid Atlantic Art Center. Her ongoing pursuit of artistic innovation—coupled with her unwavering dedication to confronting social injustices—solidifies her position as a vital voice in the realm of visual storytelling.
