Recent Reviews
“A
very
talented
artist
who
creates
amazing,
original,
elegant
and
eye-catching
artwork.
It
represents
the
ancient
Greek
mythology
in
an
authentic
but
at
the
same
time
quirky
way
with
beautiful
colours
and
design.
This
was
my
second
purchase
from
Dick
Martin,
and
he
did
not
disappoint
me.
Absolutely
thrilled
to
own
these
stunning
pieces
of
Dick
Martin’s
artwork
that
also
display
my
Greek
heritage.
Excellent
service
and communication” UK
“The
Stargazers
are
superb
sculptures,
the
figures
simply
urge
you
to
engage
in
their
sense
of
confused
wonder.
Incredibly
well
packaged,
it
took us two days to open them! If you want unique art pieces that demand your attention then Dick Martin is your man. Recommended.” UK
“Theseus
arrived
today
and
we
are
bowled
over.
He
is
quite
magnificent
with
intricate
detail
and
pose.
The
sculpture
really
is
fabulous!
Communication
from
Dick
was
excellent
and
we
were
delighted
to
receive
supporting
documentation
of
authentication.
It’s
been
a
pleasure
doing business with Dick.” UK
“These
two
make
my
fourth
sculpture
I’ve
gotten
from
Dick.
Even
though
I
live
in
California,
they
arrive
fast
and
very
well
wrapped.
These
are
heavy substantial sculptures. I love them. I am a collector now. I will probably purchase more.” USA
“When
I
saw
this
piece
I
immediately
liked
it
and
knew
although
a
stylised
piece
would
fit
into
our
more
rustic
setting.
It
arrived
really
well
packed
to
ensure
it
arrived
in
perfect
condition
and
sooner
than
expected.
Dick
Martin
was
easy
to
deal
with
and
quickly
responded
to
my
emails.
I
would
thoroughly
recommend
his
work.
It
has
been
created
by
a
professional
and
well
crafted.
This
will
be
a
heritage
piece
to
be
handed down to the next generation. Thank you Dick.” UK
“I love my sculpture. I appreciate the extra special care in packing to ensure it wasn’t damaged during transport.” USA
“I really love this figure! Great communication from the seller and very fast shipping made the purchase a pleasure.” USA
“Never
saw
an
article
with
a
so
protecting
packaging,
impossible
to
break.
The
sculpture
is
gorgeous,
what
I
was
expected.
Dick
is
a
kind,
talented,
respectful
and
professional
artist.
I
highly
recommend
his
work
followed
buy
his
kind
messages
exchange.
Worried
about
knowing
if
I
got the sculpture and I liked it. How could I not. Bravo Dick and keep on with your beautiful art.” France
“Thank
you
Dick
for
creating
"Stargazer"
,
you
truly
have
a
gift.
This
piece
will
make
a
fantastic
addition
within
our
home
and
we
simply
love
the
quizzical
look
of
both
potential
and
wonder
that
is
placed
by
you
into
"Stargazer's"
face
as
he
looks
up
to
greet
you
upon
walking
into
our
snug room. We will follow your future work and hope to add some more very soon.” UK
“Beautiful
sculpture!
Large,
expressive
and
unique.
Could
not
have
dreamed
of
something
more
fantastical
and
perfect.
Thank
you
for
sharing
your gifts! Perfectly wrapped and delivered.” USA
“Achilles
is
the
most
gorgeous
clay
piece
that
I
have
ever
seen.
Was
a
Birthday
gift
to
my
husband
and
he
was
ecstatic.
Everything
was
100%
in
any way imaginable. So happy with my purchase!” Luxembourg
“This
is
my
second
sculpture
from
Dick
Martin.
I
will
buy
more.
Be
prepared
to
spend
some
time
unwrapping
Them,
I
bet
I
could
drop
them
from a 5 story building, they are wrapped that well.” USA
“Great communication, this sculpture brings me joy every day.” USA
“The sculpture looks great, I really like it. Well-packaged and quickly delivered.” UK
“The
unique
technique
and
creativity
of
both
works
are
imaginative
and
intriguing.
I
am
looking
forward
to
acquiring
another
sculpture
by
Dick
Martin.” USA
“A
second
brilliant
experience
with
the
artist
and
his
work.
The
sculpture
is
endlessly
interesting
and
of
rapturous
beauty.
Her
shape,
textures,
and colours are mesmerising and evoke the art of the ancient world. She beckons and baffles as I accompany her on the journey.” UK
“My
experience
of
buying
sculpture
from
Dick
Martin
could
not
have
been
more
wonderful.
He
is
a
brilliant,
prompt
communicator
and
so
appreciative of one's interaction. The items were superbly packaged and are a joy to live with.” UK
“I
really
like
this
style
of
clay
sculpture
and
the
fact
that
the
image
is
from
Greek
mythology
is
an
extra
bonus,
as
I
was
born
in
Greece.
Lovely
art work and excellent service.” UK
“The sculpture is very nice indeed.” Switzerland
“Lovely piece. I think it’s very well priced and was perfectly packed and delivered.” UK
«
Colis
reçu
rapidemment
très
bien
emballé
et
oeuvres
protégées
à
l'intérieur.
Le
travail
de
Dick
est
magnifique.
J'adore!
Très
bons
échanges
également avec l'artiste. Je vous le recommande. » France
“My
sculpture
shipped
extremely
fast.
It
was
exciting,
there
was
so
much
wrapping,
it
felt
like
birthing
a
baby.
No
breakage.
My
not
easily
impressed family were all impressed. This will not be the last one I buy. Thank you Dick! USA
“Dick
Martin’s
work
appeals
greatly
-
fun
with
a
dark
edge.
Or
so
it
seems
to
me.
I
will
be
returning
to
Dick’s
work.
The
Greek
inspired
noble
figures appeal as do the clay wall art based on Greek myth. In fact if I had the space I’d get the lot.” UK
“I
absolutely
love
my
beautiful
sculpture."
Every
time
I
walk
into
the
house
I
see
this
amazing
artwork.
I'll
definitely
make
more
purchases
in
the future -- thank you, Dick!” USA
“The
whole
purchase
experience
from
the
pleasure
of
ogling
the
images
of
the
sculpture
to
the
personal
email
from
the
artist
was
great.
I
absolutely
adore
the
sculpture
-
it's
got
a
beautiful,
interesting
texture
and
colours;
it
is
quirky
and
fun!
It
makes
me
happy
every
time
I
enter
the room where it stands in a prominent position.” UK
“Excellent artist - work arrived quickly and was well packaged. The piece is really wonderful and interesting Certainly recommended!” UK
“The
sculpture
I
purchased
from
Dick
Martin
is
truly
wonderful,
even
better
than
in
the
photo.
Very
inspiring
and
tactile.
It
is
a
good
weight
which
will
prevent
my
cat
knocking
it
over
and
it
has
pride
of
place
on
a
hallway
stand.
Thank
you
for
a
really
lovely
piece
of
art
to
treasure.”
UK
“Awesome piece. Well packaged and quick delivery!” USA
“I've
had
my
eye
on
Dick's
sculptures
for
a
long
time
and
especially
love
the
inspiration
behind
his
'personification'
series.
The
artwork
arrived
at
my
door
really
quickly
and
very
well
packaged,
impressively
so.
The
piece
indeed
has
a
beautiful
texture
and
is
even
more
'earthy'
and
detailed
in
real
life.
It's
relatively
heavy
too,
which
only
adds
more
to
the
quality
of
the
piece.
Really
happy
with
my
first
ever
sculpture,
thanks Dick!” UK
“Highly
recommended
artist,
great
communication.
The
sculpture
arrived
in
a
couple
of
days
a
lot
quicker
than
I
was
expecting
and
was
very
well packaged, so arrived safely. It is a really beautiful piece of work, which I am extremely pleased with.” UK
“A
very
beautiful
painting,
exactly
as
I
hoped
it
would
be,
very
true
to
the
photo,
even
more
stunning
than
the
picture
due
to
the
3D
effects!
Great
communication
from
Dick,
arrived
safe
and
sound
via
UPS
on
Wednesday
after
ordering
it
at
the
weekend,
super
well
packed.
Thank
you
so much!” UK
“Wonderful
sculptures
now
displayed
in
my
home.
Dick
did
an
awesome
job
with
the
packaging
to
ensure
they’d
arrive
safely,
and
also
helped
with managing the shipping and import into the US, providing status all along the way.” USA
“I
love
how
the
sentinels
look
on
my
table.
Their
bewildered
expressions
while
carrying
out
guard
duty
leaves
much
to
the
imagination.
I
think
Dick should make an army of them!” Singapore
“Love this sculpture so had to buy another! Thanks very much Dick!” Spain
