Multidisciplinary Art

“Koby Martin is a proud export of Ghana. His talent and God-given gift were nurtured in his motherland and polished in the United Kingdom. These worlds merge together in his art where traits of his African descent and life in Europe thus far, can be seen as a consistent influence in the narratives of his pieces. Koby’s work is an introspective, autobiographical exploration of his life which portrays the inclusive human experience of dealing with emotions, memories, thoughts, and feelings.”
