Nude Art by Martin Navarro
Photographer and visual artist Martin Navarro explores the relationship between nature and the human figure in a fine art nude photography series created in different locations across Chile.
For Navarro, the skin of the earth and the skin of the human body become two connected forms — surfaces that reveal beauty, vulnerability, emotion and the stories carried within them.
The understanding of nature and the human figure has shaped two bodies full of beauty and mystery: the skin of the earth and the skin of humans. Both become the visible surface of an infinite world of emotions, thoughts and stories.
To remove clothing is, for Navarro, to remove the temporary and cultural layers that define us and return to a more primary state — whether strong or fragile, young or old.
During his photographic sessions, he describes the feeling of looking through a window into a place without time. Rather than forcing a pose or situation, he waits for fleeting moments in which the model forgets her nudity and connects naturally with the environment — moments where image, emotion and presence become inseparable.
Martin Navarro
Since childhood, Martin Navarro has felt a strong connection to drawing and nature. In 2001 he began developing his artistic work through oil painting, a medium he continues to practice occasionally.
Painting introduced him to the study of color gradients, light, perspective, tonal balance and harmony within shapes — elements that later became central to his photography of landscapes and the human figure.
His transition into photography developed naturally through an interest in spontaneity and landscapes. Between 2010 and 2014, Navarro studied at a Fine Arts academy, where he returned to oil painting and further explored color, shape and composition, particularly through his series Imágenes Mentales.
For Navarro, creative work exists at the meeting point between reality and dreams, where photography, design and fine art become ways of translating emotion and imagination into visual form.
