Martin Bialas

Martin Bialas (born 1963 in Stuttgart) is a german artist based in Ibiza. He studied at St. Martin’s School in London in 1982 and moved to Paris in 1986. Since 1992, he lives and works between France, Spain, and Morocco; since 2013, Ibiza is his main base.

His practice includes sculpture, drawing, painting, and wall installations. Language, writing, signs, and symbols are central to his work. He often uses natural materials and simple linear forms, translating them into bronze through the lost-wax casting process. The Sahara Desert is an important source of inspiration and a recurring reference in his artistic development.

Bialas’ work connects material presence with ephemeral traces. It moves between text, object, landscape, and memory.
