Michal Mraz (b. Bratislava, Slovakia) is a contemporary visual artist known for his distinctive fusion of realism, abstraction, and street art influences. Working primarily with painting and mixed media, Mraz creates visually striking compositions that blur the boundaries between figuration and deconstruction, inviting viewers into layered narratives that explore identity, memory, and the human condition.

Mraz studied at the Faculty of Applied Arts in Bratislava (2007–2009), where he focused on sculpture, installation, and object art under the guidance of J. Meliša and J. Hoffstädter. Prior to that, he attended the School of Applied Arts of Josef Vydra (2003–2007), where he developed his foundational artistic skills.

Throughout his career, Michal Mraz has exhibited extensively across Europe, the United States, and beyond, with his work featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions. His paintings are characterized by dynamic brushwork, fragmented forms, and a bold interplay of light, texture, and color. Mraz’s practice often reflects themes of human vulnerability, impermanence, and transformation, while simultaneously incorporating raw energy drawn from urban visual culture.

Currently, Michal Mraz continues to develop his practice between Bratislava and international art centers, constantly experimenting with form and composition while pushing the boundaries of contemporary figurative painting.
