M D Hyde (Martin David Hyde) is a modern artist who lives in Ashbourne in the Derbyshire Dales. He has a masters of art degree with distinction from Staffordshire University. He works in various mediums such as soft pastel, oils and acrylics, usually on canvas.

Martin’s work represents the journey through modern life and the effects on heart and mind. The work is very personal and honest - layered with emotions, meanings and metaphors. The work features figures, characters, beasts, symbols and totems representing the complicated web of the way one feels. The work is detailed and full of marks and textures all adding to the feelings within the piece. The work deals with themes such as hope, masks, isolation, joy, belonging, the push and pull, pressures, confidence, values, identity, and mood.

As the world becomes more technologically advanced and pressures of modern life are ever increasing, much of the advice to well being is to reconnect - with nature, family, friends, expression and your inner voice. As society becomes more de humanised, and disconnected, the need to connect with our primitive self, becomes ever more important. The work attempts to bypass the ego and focus on the inner voice we all have.“My intention is for my art work to be multi layered. I want the viewers understanding of my artwork to evolve over time. I hope the artwork will be enjoyed and that viewers will have some emotional reaction to the work, even if they don’t fully understand it. I believe once an art work is completed, the meaning of the art work then becomes the domain of the viewer. It’s important for the viewer to put their own interpretation on the work even if it differs from my original intention.” Martin
