Mikulas Kravjansky was born in Rudnany, Czechoslovakia in 1928. While studying at the Academy of Arts in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia, he met his wife who was an acting student there and both of them became heavily involved in the Czechoslovakian theater. He became one of the foremost set and costume designers in the theater and lectured at the Academy. In 1968, Kravjansky and his family settled in Canada where he became Assistant Master of Art at Toronto's Humber College. During the next six years, Kravjansky exhibited in Toronto and developed 51 shows for Columbia Pictures Television. IN 1976 he decided to return to the making of graphics and moved to Pompano Beach, Florida and began creating limited edition graphics. The name for the general technique used by Kravjansky is Intaglio, in which the image is created by the artist on many different plated and then transformed to handmade paper by the high pressure of the etching press. He produces only small limited editions of his designs and then destroys the plates to assure that artistic integrity of his work.
