“My work is the result of a synthesis of artist, motif and materials through a profound study of the structure of the subject in order to find the spirit in the mass and a just tension of opposites."

Martyn is a member of the Royal Society of British Artists, now living in France. He paints because he loves paint. He works from one image to another, adding and subtracting, and the painting evolves into something that expresses his view of the subject. His paintings are not just an image, but textured objects in their own right which change with the differing light and conditions of days and seasons and which move as the viewer moves around the work. He enjoys taking a central motif, be it a person, animal, still life or an element in a landscape.
