Many people ask who is Niki Lauda? Niki Lauda, was born Andreas Nikolaus Lauda, on February 22, 1949, in Vienna, Austria. Niki Lauda with Ferrari won three Formula One (F1) Grand Prix world championships (1975, 1977, and 1984), during his career – the last two of which came after his remarkable comeback from a horrific crash in 1976 that had left him severely burned and close to death.


Martin Allen is a London based artist. Martin came to oil painting through a circuitous route, having drawn for most of his life and being largely self-taught he was eventually re-introduced to oil painting as a preferred medium to create his varied and diverse work. The methods he uses to paint are classic ones, using layered paint applications rounded off by oil glazes. These create, add depth and harmonise colours. He has shown solo numerous times at Goodwood, The Affordable Art Fair and others, been a finalist at the ‘London art Biennale 2019’, alongside various commissions including work for the BP Shipping collection.
