A woman with shoulder-length brown hair and clear-framed glasses sits indoors. She is wearing a light green button-up shirt with a small floral pattern. Behind her is an orange couch and a table with stacked papers and a plant partially visible. The setting appears to be an office or lounge area.

Tess Martin is a film and visual artist based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands since 2014.

She brings her perspective as someone who was raised between cultures exploring themes of belonging, identity and connection.

Her work grows out of both animation and fine art, balancing concept, research, narrative, and intuition to shape each film or installation. Tess’ work has been exhibited at international galleries and festivals such as TOKAS Hongo, International Film Festival Rotterdam, Ann Arbor Film Festival, and Animafest Zagreb.

She was selected as an artist-in-residence at, among others, the Camargo Foundation, the Bogliasco Foundation, Djerassi Resident Artist Program, and The Animation Workshop. Between 2007 and 2016 she regularly curated short film programs worldwide, and between 2014 and 2021 she ran the monthly event series Manifest Animation Show & Tell in Rotterdam (and streaming globally).
