The art of engraving
Martin Mörck
Born 1955 in Gotenburg Sweden
Raised in an artist community. My mother Ulla Mörck was a textile artist and illustrator, and my father Niels henry Mörck was a graphic artist and philatelist .
I was from an early age inspired by my mother and her mantra was ” you will never get bored as long as you have a piece of paper and pen nearby.”
From my father Niels-Henry Mörck I was told to study the old masters like Master E.S and Hendrick Goltzius. He was also a passionated philatelist and pointed out the connection between the old masters and the art of engraved stamps.
This given, I started to engrave at around age 12.
My destiny was settled there.
