About Martina Taranto

Artist-designer-innovator. My approach to design is holistic, and emerges from a background that combines disciplines and experiences, to generate futures built on synergies. My work and training gravitate towards the necessity to find a compromise and a fluid dialogue between knowledge, humanity and the environment I investigate and try to envision a world built on a sensible and ethical dimension. My practice is devoted to the achievement of social and natural Justice.
