Martin Racko is a contemporary Slovak artist. Since the mid-90s, painting has gradually become his main and dominant creative activity. The motifs of his dimensional paintings are simple; they are abstract compositions and landscapes, inspired mainly by the warm colorful atmosphere of the balladic country. Additionally, they are dynamic pictorial visions of movement, rhythm, composition, painting gesture, inner strength, and the power of color.
Racko’s work is dominated by performing themes and motifs of dance, music, theater and circus. There is natural, real and symbolic dynamics, flow and magical time transformation in these themes.
Martin Racko was born in 1959, in Slovakia, where he graduated from The Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava, Slovakia. He exhibited his works nationally, as well as internationally in France, Austria, Hungary, Poland, Serbia, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and Belgium.
