After many successful, sell out exhibitions in both Melbourne and Sydney as well as a select following in New York, Martino has works regularly housed at Thierry B Gallery in High Street, Melbourne.

 
Architecture

Martino completed five years of Architecture at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) before moving straight into design consulting work for a small Melbourne firm. After quickly realising he possessed the ability to consult directly to clients, Martino established his own design business with a colleague and was responsible for many small to medium residential and commercial Melbourne based projects.

In 2002, Martino's focus shifted to hospitality and interior design and he left his architecture-based business to pursue other ventures. This, in turn, allowed Martino to focus on his artwork which until this time had remained a hobby. A strong architectural and schematic influence is present in Martino's current works.

This year, Martino has again begun to consult directly to key clients on concept design.

 
Interior Design

Stemming from an innate talent and sense of style, Martino has been responsible for the interior design aspects of a number of luxury homes, boutique developments and bars. Although Interior Design comprised part of his architectural training at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), Martino firmly believes you ‘are born with' a knowing sense of how spaces work and how to enhance and build upon a base structure.
