Bertrand Martin is a self-taught artist born in 1975. Since his childhood, he has been passionate about arts and drawing, but it was only as he approached his 40s that he really began to develop his passion. He started with watercolors, where he received several awards and distinctions, but quickly moved on to oil painting. To perfect his technique, he drew inspiration from the old masters, studied with various contemporary figurative painters such as ZhaoMing Wu, Alex Venezia, Causey Baugh, Daniel Sprik, but also drew inspiration from various contemporary abstract painters.

In his art, he has developed a very particular style, a narration resulting from the fusion between classical and modern styles that can be seen as a metaphor for life itself – a combination of the old and the new, beauty and pain, order and chaos, light and darkness. His portraits and figures represent human beings in their interiority, emotion, and mystery. Each subject is unique and tells a story.

Bertrand Martin exhibits in France and abroad, and his works are increasingly popular among collectors from around the world.
