Mary Martín (Salamanca, Spain, 1927 - Mexico City, 1982) was a Spanish artist who exiled to Mexico in 1939 after the Spanish Civil War. Her career was distinguished by her focus on drawing and her political commitment. Her artistic training was influenced by her father, a painter and teacher, as well as prominent exiled masters such as Roberto Fernández Balbuena and José Bardasano. She studied at the Escuela Nacional de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado La Esmeralda (National School of Painting, Sculpture and Printmaking) from 1944 to 1948. 

Throughout her career, she worked as a painter, muralist, printmaker, and illustrator, contributing to newspapers, magazines, and books. She assisted Diego Rivera on important murals and was a member of the Taller de Gráfica Popular (Workshop for Popular Graphic Art) and the Salón de la Plástica Mexicana (Salon of Mexican Fine Art). Her work, marked by a deep empathy for the human figure, showcased a feminist approach, especially in her depictions of female nudes, reflecting both the intimacy and complexity of women. Committed to social justice, her communist and feminist ideals were integrated into her art, aiming to highlight the struggles and rights of women and the working classes.
