Martin Miles is a Malawian artist based in Blantyre where he was born and raised and was born on 3rd September 2004.
It all started when he was at the age of 10 when he got inspired by his female neighbor in 2015 who used to draw using pencil and charcoal. He started doing some sketches and showing the neighbor who used to give good complement about the sketches he made. As time went by, he was improving creatively up to 2017 when he stopped to prepare for standard 8 exams.
Later he was selected to Pius xii Seminary, a Catholic secondary School whereby the rules of the school were limiting his art career and he stopped doing anything pertaining to art.
In 2018 he changed school to Soche Hill secondary School and found himself with friends who were doing art, so he rebuilt his love for art with the inspiration he was getting from his friends as well as the social media.
In 2019 he met Chris Tikhala Taulo who helped in giving ideas to sharpen his creative skill that was still growing. He is now recognized by Blantyre Museum of Malawi as a visual artist, and he is also a member of Museum Residents Art Movement. He exhibited his art for the first time at Zomba city festival 2022 in April.
Uses different mediums including Graphite , charcoal and watercolor . Currently he is a student holding an MSCE certificate .
