Artist Biography
Throughout his journey, there were recurring phases of reflection during which he temporarily set aside his artistic work. However, these pauses served as important periods of inner realignment that had a lasting influence on his artistic development.
In parallel to his artistic path, mARTin Kainer also pursued a technical career and trained as a mechanical engineer. This background led him to a groundbreaking innovation:
He is the inventor of the world’s only DESIGNGRILL featuring a fire plate made of GLASS.
With this revolutionary concept, he merges technical expertise, engineering precision, and artistic vision in a truly unique way. The glass grill surface – through which the flames shimmer from below – transforms his creations into exclusive one-of-a-kind pieces: a symbiosis of function, aesthetics, and artistic expression found nowhere else.

A defining moment marked a turning point in his artistic career: on January 27, 2022, he was involved in a car accident. This deeply affected him and reignited his drive to draw. His first new work of this phase, “THE ACCIDENT”, became the foundation of his current artistic journey.
As a self-taught artist without formal academic training in the arts, mARTin Kainer developed his skills independently. His works reflect his personal path – a blend of technical thinking and emotional depth. One of the most distinctive features of his art is his lifelong fascination with dinosaurs, which he integrates into everyday scenes. These prehistoric creatures serve as avengers, protectors, or dark forces, giving his pieces a unique, often humorous and macabre dimension.
In 2024, mARTin Kainer founded his own art movement: NeoChronism.
This style fuses current social themes with symbolic elements from the past – often embodied by dinosaurs that mirror human emotions, fears, and contemporary challenges. NeoChronism represents his artistic signature: a bridge between past and present, captured in powerful and emotional images.
