About The Artist

Born and raised in the Czech Republic, Martin Sitta became enchanted with art at an early age. From the stellar architecture lining the streets of Prague, to the artistic legacies of František Kupka and Alphonse Mucha, Sitta was both impressed and inspired by his cultural heritage. Although he now resides in the city of Chicago, his work as an artist still reflects his roots in Central Europe. A multi-disciplinary artist and designer, Sitta specializes in graphic design, painting, and photography. Working in a variety of media is essential to Sitta’s life as an artist, for as he cultivates his skills in one medium, his entire practice is strengthened. Since studying design at the College of DuPage (AAS Advertising, Design & Illustration) and Columbia College Chicago (BFA Graphic Design), he has worked with clients in the wine and hospitality industries, producing clean, minimalist designs imbued with feminine sensuality. As a painter, Sitta also draws inspiration from the female form, but in a more exuberant and expressionistic manner. Applying layers of cursive, frenetic brushstrokes to both his abstract and figurative paintings, he infuses his large canvases with the emotionality of color and movement, creating impactful aesthetic experiences for his fine art viewers.
