Jesús María Martínez was born on 15 May 1972 in Baracaldo. A traffic accident in 1991 resulted in paralysis of all four limbs. Since 1996 Mr Martínez has been living in a home for the physically handicapped. Occupational therapy introduced him to mouth painting at the beginning of 1998. He is fascinated by the idea of becoming a good artist in the not too distant future. He attends a painting course twice a week and paints a multitude of topica with the greatest of enthusiasm.
