About the art of Martin Graf
Martin Graf has developed his own unique style of abstract painting, without formal academic training but with a clear artistic ambition. His working method reflects this, as he explains:
"Canvas, all paint pots open, no major preplanning—that’s how my paintings begin... Abstract painting, color choice, and inner impulses determine the outcome. It is important to me that my way of working constantly changes and renews itself, leading to a continuous, exciting process for me."
This approach conveys vitality and freshness, which the viewer can recognize in Martin Graf’s paintings.
