St. Martha of Astorga was a young Spanish martyr of the third century.

Marta was born in Astorga in the 3rd century; she was related to the Christian groups that arose around the converted legionaries from North Africa and her brother was the legionary Saint Vidal, father of Saints Justo and Pastor of Tielmes. Marta, as his aunt, took care of the Christian education of Justo and Pastor.

According to the records of her martyrdom, in the time of Emperor Decius she was denounced as a follower of Christ for having refused to participate in the public sacrifices offered to idols, even though such acts were prescribed by law, under penalty of death. Forced to abhor him, she refused so the governor Paterno ordered her to be tortured[1], had her victim stretched on the trestle and ordered her to be beaten with gnarled rods[3], wounded with hooks in her sides and salt poured into the wounds and locked in the dungeon where she received a visit from Christ. Paterno offered her his son in marriage, but she continued to refuse and was finally killed with the sword.

Her body was collected from the sewer where it was thrown by a noble matron who gave it burial.

José Gislero is a Swiss painter who focuses on sensual, spiritual art. He lives and works between two islands: Switzerland, the island in the middle of the European Union and Cuba the communist island in the Caribbean Sea.

José is convinced of the power of art to unite and harmonize the opposites of our world. Both are interdependent, both are firmly connected and interact.

He paints to create peace and balance.

His series of paintings are often like short stories or painted prayers. His style oscillates between figurative and expressionistic. His works blend both the material and spiritual world. 

Although he has a degree in engineering and marketing, he has always been fascinated by art. His many long stays abroad awakened his special commitment and interest in third world issues. Peoples and cultures marginalized by 'civilization' and on the brink of extinction.

Born 1960 in Switzerland, where he has been brought up.

1985: BSc in Eng. / Cybernetics.

1986 – 1995: Engineering jobs mainly in Europe, Saudi Arabia, China, South-Africa and Peru.

1996: MBA, Changed over to Marketing.

1996 – 2008: Marketing jobs in Europe, Middle-East, Asia Pacific and the US.

2008: Decided to terminate his corporate life and moved to Havana (Cuba).

2008 – 2010: Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes "San Alejandro", Havana (Cuba).

2010 – 2016: Working partly as artist, partly as artist craftsman, mainly on restoration of houses from the colonial period in Havana.

2017 onward: Working and living as an artist between Switzerland and Cuba.

José Gislero owns a studio gallery in Havana, where some of his paintings are exhibited.
