The artwork of Mario Martinec has a refreshing effect on the viewer, as well as on the whole art scene. Strong contrast of vibrant palette of color in concert with interesting ideas radiates with unique and unusual perception of reality. His paintings are not just mere expressions of gloomy realism, but a blend of neo-expressionism and strong symbolism with a person at the center. Artwork of this young and talented artist introduces dynamic, multidimensional and by all means original paintings that give him distinction and recognition.  He welcomes us to an empire of his intimacy that exudes with simplicity of color while maintaining immense complexity that's visible in every stroke of his brush, each telling its own story. In this young painter’s art, an overwhelming passion for expressing and painting emotions is clearly visible. His paintings captivate the viewer’s eye while alluring with artistic creativity and expression. Artist's interpretation of omnipresent motifs traverses the realms of reality, transforming them into an altered actuality, all the while not dissolving its essence and identity.
