Artistic background

Martin is an award winning artist, entirely self-taught, he began with watercolour landscapes before transitioning to soft pastels and pastel pencils. This allowed him to explore his deep fascination with wildlife—particularly big cats such as leopards, lions, cheetahs, and tigers—capturing their spirit and detail with remarkable precision, as well as UK wildlife

Now living in Sidbury, East Devon he exhibited in 2024 for the first time with the Sidmouth Society of Artists at Kennaway House in Sidmouth. Out of nearly 300 pieces, his work earned 2nd place in the People’s Vote, marking a significant milestone in his artistic journey and won the same accolade the following year. In 2026 at the same exhibition he won two awards “best in show” & “best animal artwork” setting him above the other 300 pieces. Martin has previously been represented by local galleries but now offers his art online only.

Quote

"I take hours planning a new piece and then even more hours painting up to 60 hours on some larger works but through the process I paint from the heart, all my work is filled with passion to bring the presence and soul of each animal to life"

“I recently purchased some fine art from Martin Hyde, professionally mounted in a museum grade mount and glass, and I couldn't be happier with the result.

I'm always looking for quality art, and Martin's work is truly exceptional. His attention to detail, precision, and artistic talent are top drawer.

The quality of both the artwork and the presentation exceeded my expectations... and thankfully my wife's!

The entire transaction was quick and seamless, with excellent communication throughout every stage of the process. Martin kept me informed from start to finish, making the whole experience a pleasure.

If you're looking for high quality artwork and exceptional craftsmanship, look no further. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Martin to anyone.“

Interests

I am an avid single figure handicap golfer and always enjoy the social environment that golf brings. I still have a real passion for rallying as I competed in many rallies in the UK, Ireland, France & Belgium in the 1980's with some success as a winner of the EARS/Motoring News Championship in 1986
