The Spanish artist Pako Martínez creates graphite portraits with a very high degree of detail. Martínez uses a palette in gray tones that evokes the feeling of emotional distance with the subjects represented in his works. Each portrait he draws represents a small universe in and of itself through the daily lives of people without name or context. The characters appear with a significant white space around them that generates in the viewer the need to imagine their own story while allowing separation from whoever is observing them. His works require that the viewer interact carefully and take the time to get closer in search of realistic detail and to separate for the creation of the environment and the narrative. The style is framed within hyperrealism and his work accentuates the traits of individuality and fragmentation, without unique truths, with multi-perspectives, typical of discursive postmodernity.

El artista español Pako Martínez crea retratos en grafito con un altísimo grado de detalle. Martínez usa una paleta en tonos grises que evoca el sentimiento de distancia emocional con los sujetos representados en sus obras. Cada retrato que dibuja representa un pequeño universo en y por sí mismo a través de la vida cotidiana de personas sin nombre ni contexto.  Los personajes aparecen con un significativo espacio en blanco alrededor que genera en el espectador la necesidad de imaginar su propia historia a la vez que permite la separación con quién les observa. Sus obras requieren que quien mira interactúe con cuidado y tome su tiempo para acercarse en la búsqueda del detalle realista y separarse para la creación del entorno y la narrativa. El estilo se enmarca dentro del hiperrrealismo y su obra acentúa los rasgos de individualidad y fragmentación, sin verdades únicas, con multiperspectivas, propio de la posmodernidad discursiva.
