Martin was born in Kharkiv, Ukraine and now lives in Los Angeles. He has been drawing and painting since teenage years. At the age of 19 he moved to LA, where he is currently working on films and paintings.
Martin's artistic language was formed from the analysis of mythology, sexuality, sensuality, dreams, conscious and unconscious. His paintings are known for huge, dense scenes in which the narrative is stubbornly elusive. Events seem to take place in aparallel world, Portions of a canvas can be futuristic, while elsewhere there may be a sky out of Tiepolo and poeple who have come from the Napoleonic Wars or some primordial Europe.
In drawings and sketches Martin explores male sexuality in a dreamlike landscape, seemingly random figures that are interconnected and engaged in their personal relationships. Today, Martin's works are presented in private collections in Paris, London, New York and Los Angeles.
