Meet Marta Visbal | Artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Marta Visbal and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Marta, what matters most to you?

I strongly believe that it’s challenging to single out one primary value or principle, as our lives are intricately influenced by a combination of values. Among those I hold in high regard, honesty, resilience, passion, and creativity stand out as cornerstones of personal and professional growth. Honesty builds trust and authenticity, resilience helps us grow through challenges, passion fuels our dedication, and creativity adds vitality. These values work together to create a strong foundation for personal and professional success and fulfillment.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
As an artist, the decision to start my own business was a natural reflection of my core values, which revolve around the pursuit of freedom, balance, coherence, and authenticity. Freedom has always been a driving force in my artistic journey, as I yearned for the autonomy to craft a professional path that harmonized with my personal values. This quest for artistic freedom seamlessly aligns with my desire for balance, as I aimed to construct a creative career that seamlessly integrates with my personal life, fostering a profound sense of harmony and fulfillment.

Furthermore, coherence has been a guiding principle throughout my entrepreneurial endeavor. I was determined to build a business that authentically reflects my beliefs and principles, ensuring that every facet of my creative enterprise resonates with my artistic vision. Staying true to myself has been the foundation of my thought process, as I aspired to create a business that is not merely a means of livelihood but a manifestation of my deepest artistic self.

With these ideals in mind, I embarked on the entrepreneurial path, driven by an innate desire to carve out a professional space that authentically embodies my artistic values and vision. Through this artistic venture, my aim is to contribute to a creative landscape that prioritizes personal fulfillment, artistic authenticity, and a profound sense of purpose, not only for myself but also for all those who engage with my artistic endeavors.

I believe the brilliance that distinguishes my creations is the result of my ability to explore different realms through meditation, visualization, mindfulness, controlled breathing, and a plethora of techniques I’ve refined over the years. This empowers me to effectively convey authentic emotions and narratives that surface during these experiences across a wide spectrum of artistic mediums.

To become the artist I am today, I have consistently exposed myself to learning everything that piques my curiosity. I began by studying architecture, then continued with various specializations in the realm of practical arts, and proceeded to learn and experiment with techniques related to the mind and the human being.

I believe that as human beings, it is natural to go through challenging times in order to later experience satisfaction. Having said that, the journey has been filled with peculiar moments, some more difficult than others, but it is undoubtedly a path I would choose to live a thousand times over.

One of the greatest challenges that many people face is discovering their true life purpose. I decided to pursue an artistic career because I believe in the power of following one’s inner calling and passions. For many years, I hesitated, like many artists do, questioning whether my love for the arts was merely a hobby or a viable career path. However, as I continued to explore and grow, I realized that life has a way of manifesting our true purpose and guiding us toward our deepest and most profound dreams. The universe revealed to me that my most authentic and fulfilled self emerges when I’m immersed in the act of creating art. This realization was a profound turning point for me. I recognized that my true self is in perfect harmony and alignment when I’m engaged in the creative process. It’s a feeling of being connected to my inner essence, and it brings me immense joy and bliss.

I consider risk-taking as an integral part of both my life and career. I firmly believe that life is about pushing boundaries, stepping out of one’s comfort zone, and venturing into the unknown. It’s through taking risks that we can truly grow and discover our full potential. In my life and career, I’ve always been delighted to embrace risk and uncertainty. Taking risks has played a vital role in shaping my experiences and achievements. It has propelled me into uncharted territories, where I’ve learned the most valuable lessons and gained a deeper understanding of myself and the world around me. The exhilaration of pushing my limits and challenging the status quo has been a driving force in my personal and professional development.

I am a strong believer that, while it may not always be easy, taking risks is the key to unlocking opportunities and achieving significant goals. It’s about having faith in one’s abilities and the belief that even in the face of adversity, the journey is always worth it. Risks have led me to new opportunities, expanded my horizons, and allowed me to continuously evolve and adapt. Undoubtedly, a creative career demands a considerable amount of resilience, but it’s also abundant in the satisfaction and contentment that come from pursuing one’s passion. For me, the joy of creating art, the sense of self-discovery, and the ability to express myself through my work are more than enough to make this journey worthwhile. It’s a path that not only fulfills me but also allows me to contribute something meaningful to the world through my creativity.

My ultimate goal as an artist is to inspire and break creative barriers. I want my art to demonstrate that everyone’s unique vision matters and can be a source of inspiration. I aim to encourage people to embrace their creative potential and be advocates for imagination. I hope to leave a lasting legacy that celebrates diverse creative expression and enriches our world. Professionally, I want to make a significant impact on the artistic landscape and promote a culture that cherishes creative diversity.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Miami is a vibrant city, which visiting for a week can be a short but fulfilling experience. However, I live in Key Biscayne, an island just 10 minutes away from downtown Miami, where I get to enjoy the sunrise and sunset over the sea every day of my life.

For my visiting friend, I would invite her to experience a typical day in my life. Each day starts with my journaling routine, where I write a gratitude letter and declare how my day is going to unfold. After journaling, I meditate and then proceed with my exercise routine, which usually involves a combination of weight training and outdoor cardio exercises.

On some mornings, I would take my friend to explore Miami’s various art districts, which are now scattered throughout the city. We would visit galleries, artist’s studios, private collections, and the occasional art museum. Some of my favorite private collections are Rubbell’s, De la Cruz and Parodi. For lunch, I would probably take her to Buena Vista, Planta or Kazumi and other favorite places of mine, as they each offer my preferred dishes.

In the afternoon, we would undoubtedly head to the beach and conclude the day by watching the mesmerizing sunset at the Cleat in Key Biscayne, where the sunset is simply breathtaking. In the evenings, I’d invite her to explore Coco Walk, which is brimming with many delightful places to enjoy.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?

The book “Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself” by Dr. Joe Dispenza is a profound exploration of the mind’s potential and how, as human beings, we can shape our reality and design each day according to our desires through our emotions and thoughts. This book has undeniably been a transformative force in my life. By implementing many of the principles and practices outlined in the book and integrating its wisdom into my daily life, it has reshaped my purpose. I now aspire to lead a life characterized by balance, overflowing with happiness, gratitude, and absolute harmony. These concepts have become an integral and tangible part of my existence, allowing me to experience life in its fullest and most meaningful form.
