Philip Michael Martin is a British painter, originally from Sheffield, now living and working in London. After two decades in advertising — an industry built on bold images, graphic composition and the precise use of colour — he turned to painting full-time. That background is visible in everything he makes: work that is bold, immediate, and legible from across a room.

Notes to Self pairs expressive, textured grounds with short instructive phrases. Each work functions simultaneously as painting and as prompt — precisely calibrated for environments where decisions are made. Three works from the collection have already been acquired by senior business leaders for their office environments.
