Dean Martin

“I always loved to draw as a kid. Over the years I’ve dabbled in various mediums, oils, watercolour, airbrushing and the good old rattle cans and currently experimenting working with acrylics. I’ve received no formal artistic training as such, preferring to be self-taught through my own trial an error, consequently I’ve always lacked the real confidence to show or promote my work in any professional capacity. Over the years, painting became more of a hobby and a way of relaxing after a hard day's graft.”
“Around 3 years ago, I pursued life-portraits, first, in a pop art style, then over time, added more and more details and features as I became accustomed to the paints & the medium. In 2018, I produced a series of London gangster paintings which were enjoyed by the friends and family of the subjects in the collection.
