Michal Korman (1987) began his art education at the age of five when the Slovak academic painter Jozef Jelenak (working in tradition of expressionism) admitted him to his courses for children at the school of art in Michal’s home town, having formed Michal’s artistic foundations during three years.
In 2005, he manifested his specific style: a combination of graphic-like oil painting branded with the signature as a logotype.
In 2006, Michal mastered the four-year curriculum at the school of art in only two years and graduated with a diploma. Since then, he has continued to develop his personal style of traditional oil painting using figurative motifs and graphic design. This lead to his first solo exhibition outside Slovakia in Brussels in 2009.
Belgium also saw him one of the Committee of Regions Forum’s 100 Young European Creative People of Exceptional Telent Awardees 2009 – the selection organised by Europe’s Creative Cities and Regions on the occasion of the European Year of Creativity and Innovation.
In 2016 he starts working with what has since become his signature themes: plants and flowers.
Michal lives and works in Paris.
Works in private collections: Belgium, Canada, China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Japan, Malasia, the Netherlands, Russian Federation, Singapore, Slovakia, Spain, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, the United States of America
