By the age of nine, Clodoaldo was already very aware of his future vocation - painting. He started drawing and, at the age of 13, encouraged by his parents, Clodoaldo began a course with drawing teacher Luis Dotto in the neighboring town of Catanduva. It was there that the young local talent bloomed. Still in his teens, Clodoaldo also began painting lessons, first with artist Sérgio Amorim and, later, with Celso Bayo.

In 2003, Clodoaldo met Washington Magueta, who helped him improve his technique. Soon afterwards he received invaluable guidance from Alexandre Fausto, a disciple of Arlindo Casttelani de Carli. As of 2005, this guidance started coming from Luís Cláudio Morgilli, who introduced him to Gilberto Geraldo and Ronaldo Boner. And it was through the study groups conducted by Boner and the workshops delivered by Gilberto Geraldo that Clodoaldo Martins introduced new aesthetics to his work.
Currently, Clodoaldo’s inspirations come from the classic and contemporary artists of the Alla Prima school who influence him in the ever-growing refinement of his artistic production.
Clodoaldo Martins holds a degree in Arts from the Faculdade São Luís, in Jaboticabal (São Paulo - Brazil).
