Francisco
Marti was born in 1953, in Bellreguard (Valencia, SPAIN). In 1966,
his earlier experiences at the age of thirteen as a learner in a
local woodwork and two years later in an important armoury in Barcelona,
wake up him the passion for Fine Arts, true master pieces where
the union of art and precision results task of great craftsmen.
Close to this masters and in an eclectic and self-taught way, Francisco
Marti has been learning, around years and differents crafts, the
tasks and disciplines that the different works and materials require
(experimenting, for exemple, the knowledge of the fibre-carbon and
composites, materials that offer new posibillities in goldsmith).
"Thanks
to the contact with craftsmen and masters who stay anonymous, I
had learned the secrets of my job: I dedicate it to all who recognize
and appreciate the work well done." Francisco Marti,
