Michal Korman (b. 1987) began his art education at the age of five when the Slovak academic painter Jozef Jelenak (working in the tradition of expressionism) admitted him to his courses for children at the school of art in Korman’s hometown, Partizanske. These classes formed his artistic foundations over a period of three years.In 2005, Korman manifested his specific style: a combination of graphic like oil painting branded with his signature as a logotype.
