BIO

Martina Chandrakar (b. 1998, Bratislava) is a conceptual artist based in San Sebastián, Spain, known for fusing psyche, metaphysics, and neuroscience into immersive art experiences. She works primarily in oil and acrylic and her practice includes the design of real-world installation proposals, integrating curated music and specific lighting, which are made available digitally to communicate the full spatial vision to galleries and to offer viewers an engaging online preview of the intended experience.

Her foundational conceptual rigor was honed during her studies at Maastricht University’s Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience, a background that rapidly became the essential catalyst for her professional artistic career, immediately defining her ability to synthesize abstract thought through complex symbolism. This foundational conceptual strength was formally recognized with the Academic Distinction, Summa Cum Laude, for her original conceptual interpretation, formally launching her creative practice.

Chandrakar’s work is now defined by interdisciplinary projects and professional commissions that require problem-solving and conceptual visualization. Her commitment to professional output is evident in her securing a Finalist Distinction in the competitive international Model Young Package competition for her sustainable Innovative Packaging Design, and in receiving the Creativity Award for Research Visualization for cross-disciplinary work within her academic institution. Furthermore, this interdisciplinary depth culminated in a private Oil-Over-Acrylic Commission (2025) for a researcher at Maastricht University, demonstrating her capacity to translate complex, personal concepts merging neurobiology, psychology, and metaphysics into artwork. These achievements collectively position Chandrakar as an artist whose practice is professionally endorsed and grounded in analytical and conceptual depth.
