Dreams in the country Painting

Martin Navrátil is a multi-talented artist. He has achieved notable success with sculptures, which are dominating his works of art. His works are appealing to common people, gallerists, architects and designers not only in Slovakia but also abroad. He draws inspiration for his works from sports, nature, history, but first of all from the present. His craftsmanship gives him opportunities to apply new techniques which enables him to achieve deeper artist’s message and to create a new fine art expression. The knowledge of modern sculpture (from Rodin, cubism, surrealism, to modern avantgarde) leads him to his unique expression, which he is constantly trying to modify and thus to come up with something new. Martin Navrátil graduated from Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava. During the study he took part in a study stay at Academy of Fine Arts in Prague in studio of Figurative Sculpture lead by Professor Jan Hendrych.
