Hello!
MY NAME IS MARTA... and I Love MAPS
I'm a Geologist and a specialist in Geographical Information Systems, which is a modern way to call Cartographers.
​
I've worked for mining companies for many years, in several countries, but I've always had an artistic side I've never paid enough attention to until now.
​
Now I use my technical knowledge to create beauty on the shape of a map, combining my love for them with my love for paintings and interior decoration.
​
Here I offer you my work, for you to enjoy and make your place a little more personal and cozy.
If you want to know more about my scientific side, you can always visit:

These maps are made on a professional software called ArcGIS.
The data come from a very reliable and updated open source.
​
In cartography, a map projection is a way to flatten a globe's surface into a plane in order to make a map. This requires a systematic transformation of the latitudes and longitudes of locations from the surface of the globe into locations on a plane.
There are different ways to do that. The one used in this project is the same used by Google Maps, a variation of the MERCATOR projection, which is a conformal cylindrical map projection where the distortion of the forms is greater as we approach the poles.
I make every map with all my attention, trying to highlight the main features of the place, and aiming for the best scale (zoom). Unfortunately, I don't know all the places, so if I'm missing something, please let me know.
​
I would like this to be a very personalised and pleasant experience where you tell me your wishes and I try to make them possible. As big stores say: Satisfaction guaranteed!
