I see the same passion as that of the Great Masters and his work is just as timeless.

Korber is a virtuoso of the line, the pure line, free line, the line metaphor...

Korber's works have been exhibited on three continents and are part of several permanent collections, including the Museo della Grafica in Naro (Agrigento Province, Sicily) in the 15th century Palazzo Malfitano, along with those of artists from other countries, including Malta, and the works of great masters such as Rembrandt and Goya.

Korber an international artist, who is a New York native, has been called a "virtuoso of the line" by art historians and critics. But it is his masterful fusion of line, color, and movement that has earned his unique style the name "Pyrotechnic Iconographism". This official designation was bestowed in Malta in 2001 by the renowned European art historian, author, and president/founder of International Art Biennial Dame Françoise Tempra.
