Pravoslav Sovak was a Swiss visual artist and freelance graphic designer.
In the 1950s he perfected his graphic techniques and focused on black and white etchings. His first successful exhibitions were held in Prague, Vienna and Klagenfurt.
In the 1960s there was a turn to colour. Pravoslav Sovak painted and designed stage sets and costumes for Prague theatres and film studios.
In 2016, the Kunsthalle Mannheim paid tribute to Sovak's graphic work in a large-scale exhibition featuring landscapes and travel impressions with collage and watercolour elements.
