About the author Seibald Max:
He was born in 1968 in Lienz. He completed carpentry school, then a private sculpture school and graduated in sculpture in 1994 under Prof. M. Pistoletto at the Vienna Academy. He continued his artistic education in Venice as a scholarship holder. He is the recipient of many awards, the most significant being in 1994 and 2005 for sculpture. He is a member of many artistic associations and cultural organizations both domestically and internationally, and a participant and member of the executive board of many international sculpture symposia.
He expresses himself through sculpture, installation, painting, and performance. Seibald’s artistic work is understood in the context of social and interactive determinism. The conceptual foundation of his sculpture influences the development of form, its relationship with material and space as a place for creating specific cognitive and psychological perceptions.
About the author Kram Anna Maria:
She was born in 1969 in Koscian, Poland. She completed a two-year program at the Art Teacher School and then studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, where she graduated from the painting department. She was an assistant to her mentor in his studio and defended her doctoral dissertation in painting in 2000, currently teaching at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. She is the author of numerous works exhibited in group and solo exhibitions, rewarded with scholarships. She travels throughout Europe, exploring its cities and gaining experiences valuable for her work. The year 2004 is particularly important for her work in terms of finding an expression compatible with her artistic being—a compact form of dispersed color combined with drawing and painting skills.
Her painting falls within the tendencies of pictorial minimalism towards purity and the universality of the pictorial language. Her painting embodies the ideal of autonomy of the plastic sign and material as the reality of the artwork.
