Hi, I’m Nick Elphick.

The final Sculptures of NHS trauma surgeon Martin for BBC One’s Extraordinary Portraits
Extraordinary Portraits
To mark the 75th anniversary of the founding of the NHS, a brand new series of Extraordinary Portraits sees comedian, musician, and art lover Bill Bailey pair a selection of extraordinary NHS workers with some of the UK's most celebrated portrait artists.
The six artists are challenged with turning the personal and powerful experiences of the doctors, porters, surgeons and nurses into compelling portraits.
In episode one, sculptor Nick Elphick meets Martin, an inspirational trauma surgeon at one of London’s busiest hospitals.
You can catch Nick on BBC 1 at 8.30pm, Monday 17th July 2023.

About my work.
I am passionate about using traditional skills to create and express myself as an artist. I try and bring my work to life with a visual impression of the psyche.
Work with me.
I have worked on a number of projects, from small miniature sculptures to public commissions. If you’re looking to help bring an idea to life, whether that is a private portrait of a loved one, a wildlife sculpture, or a public sculpture, please reach out.
Videos.
I think it important to video the process of making art, it can give an insight into the working mind and skills of the artist. please click the link below to see my work in progress, alongside interviews and behind the scenes footage.
Follow Nick’s journey.
