Aldemir Martins was born on November 8, 1922, in Ingazeiras, Ceara, Brazil.
Aldemir Martins began painting at the age of nineteen. He was a self-educated artist.
In 1941, Aldemir Martins took part in the creation of the Fine Arts Cultural Centre (Centro Cultural de Belas Artes), in Fortaleza, with Antonio Bandeira, Raimundo Cela, Inimá de Paula and Mário Baratta, a space for permanent exhibitions and art courses. Three years later, the institution changed its name to Ceará Society of Fine Arts (Sociedade Cearense de Belas Artes – SCAP). He produced drawings, woodcuts, watercolours and paintings. He also worked as an illustrator for the Ceará press. In 1945, he went to Rio de Janeiro.
In 1946, Aldemir Martins adopted São Paulo as his home and began to develop original work, experimenting in several artistic fields. However, the preference for drawing marked all his artistic production. Here, he held his first individual exhibition and resumed his career as an illustrator. From 1949 to 1951, he attended the courses at the São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand Museum of Art (Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand – MASP), becoming a monitor of the institution.
