He then pursued a Master's degree in Ibero-American Studies at the Sorbonne University in Paris and a Ph.D. in Semiology from the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) in Canada.
Martínez's work is characterized by its deep exploration of history, cultural memory, and the urban landscape of his native city, Cali.
