Martin Relton is an emerging artist who, at 63, has found his creative voice through the captivating world of acrylic fluid art.

Originally from the UK and after a lifetime of diverse experiences, Martin discovered the mesmerizing and unpredictable nature of fluid art, a medium that perfectly aligns with his desire for creative expression and exploration.

Based in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia, Martin approaches each piece with a sense of anticipation and excitement. He's drawn to acrylic pouring techniques for their unique ability to combine colour, movement, and organic forms, resulting in truly one-of-a-kind abstract pieces. 

His work is characterized by their dynamic compositions, rich color palettes, and the beautiful interplay of cells and lacing that are hallmarks of successful pour techniques.

While relatively new to the professional art scene, Martin's dedication to mastering two specific pour methods— swipe and bloom techniques—is evident in the sophisticated depth of his work. He finds immense satisfaction in the collaborative interactions between paint and medium, allowing the fluidity of the materials to guide his artistic journey.

Martin's art is more than just visually appealing; it's a testament to the idea that creativity knows no age limit and that profound artistic discovery can happen at any stage of life.

He hopes his work inspires others to explore their own hidden talents and embrace the beauty of unexpected outcomes.
