Smooth Yellow (2012) Tablo Martin Pollak tarafından

Growing up in the centre of smoggy crossroad in Bratislava (still Czechoslovakia at the time), affected by insufficiencies of socialism and later by surplus values of capitalism, Martin is a long-time follower of freedom and subculture.

Within his artistic development, he had evolved from naïve art, 2D paintings and collages to multi-layered 3D artworks.

The integral part of author’s artistic work are his ceramic creations. During his ceramic period he had created many life-sized, almost surrealistic busts.

Martin comes alive via his passion to create artifacts from anything that comes to hand, mostly in form of the trash material.

Author’s style has by now acquired distinctive traits. The message he conveys, stems from deep feelings of living in the turmoil of the fast-changing world and the current social and environmental situation.

Influences affecting author’s work and soul:  cubism, surrealism, trash art, punk, reggae, ska, jazz, funk … Picasso, Dalí, Basquiat ... The Damned, Dave Holland, Bob Marley.

Re-creative artist in his free time, Martin works as a creative chef for living. He connect his two passions and always strives to create an unusual artwork be it on a plate or on a canvas.
