Nicolas Martin ( b.1980) is a French artist from Paris, now living and working in Montreal, Canada. After completing his studies at the respected Auguste Renoir school in Paris, Nicolas decided to deepen his artistic knowledge and diversify his skills by completing the Graphic Design program at the University of Laval in Quebec, Canada. In 2003 he won First Prize in the “La Fondation de la Vocation” scholarship in Paris. Throughout his career, Martin has worked as a designer for the famous Galeries Lafayette in Paris and as Art Director for various companies in Europe and North America.

In 2015 he made his US debut in “Urban Life” at Abend Gallery in Denver and was a finalist at the respected ARC Salon.

His third solo exhibition entitled” Cinemascope” at the L’Oeil du Prince Gallery in Paris in 2016 was highly acclaimed and proved to be another achievement for his career. Nicolas is proud to be exhibiting among top artists; his work is now widely collected in both Europe and North America. His primary goal as a painter…constant evolution.
