He worked in a variety of media, including oil painting, gouache, graphic design, ceramics, mosaics, murals and theatrical set design.

He was one of the founders of the group "March" (Mart) in 1956, and received many international awards. In 1958 Murtic participated in the three biggest events in the world of contemporary art: the Venice Biennale, the Carnegie Prize in Pittsburgh, and Documenta in Kassel. Interest in the art of Edo Murtic continues to grow, with retrospective exhibits in major museums. Edo Murtic was a prominent representative of abstract painting. Primarily known for painting in oil, and gouache, he also produced a variety of other works such as graphic design, ceramics, mosaics, murals, and theatrical set design. Following the Second World War, a new direction in art was taking place in North America, particularly New York where Abstract Expressionism became a personal expression of the artists' feelings and experiences. At the same time in Paris, Lyrical Abstraction was establishing a new identity. During the 1950s, Murtic experienced both art scenes at first hand. In America he encountered artists such as Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock, and in Europe he saw the work of Jean René Bazaine, Alfred Manessier, and Gustave Singier. Murtic's own paintings of this time show the influence of these ideas as he developed his own personal style. During the 1970s, Murtic's works began appearing in public areas, such as in the Mirogoj Cemetery in Zagreb, the Memorial in the Cazma Ossuary, the Vatroslav Lisinski Concert Hall, and the Zagrepcanka office building (1975).
