Mikulas Kravjansky

Kravjansky was born in Czechoslovakia, May 3, 1928 and graduated from the Academy of Arts Faculty of Scenography, Czechoslovakia in 1957.

Mikulas Kravjansky studied art at the Academy of Fine Art in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia. During his seven years of study he was primarily interested in set and costume design, designing interiors and graphic art. Before leaving Europe in 1968 his designs and paintings were exhibited in Prague, Budapest and Vienna. On an international level he has had shows from Paris and Berlin to Cairo and the Sao Paulo Brennala. Since his arrival in America, he has had exhibitions in New York and Toronto as well as a traveling show of his works throughout South America.

He has produced over eighty editions of graphics on paper within three years. In combining traditional techniques of etchings and collograph with his own process of dry point on copper over soft surface, his creative methods reflect the richness and variety of his perceptions about our contemporary environment.
