Josef Ralt

Biography: I was born in a small resort town by the name of Uzhgorod on the border of Chekoslovakia and Hungary at the foothills of the beautiful Karpatian mountains and was impressed from early age by the beauty of the surrounding nature.Part of my attraction to landscape painting, was initiated, I believe, in those early formative years roaming in the forrests with my gypsy friends. But my art is not only about landscapes.My subject matter that can include sketches of people in various positions in a cafe, portraits, stillife and figure but what I am really striving to achieve is an effortless blend of subject matter,visual ideas and technique in my own unique style that would reflect my liflong search for visual meaning in form and color.
