Artistic Style and Legacy
Brunovský's work is characterized by a sense of detail and miniature drawing, which often results in an ornamentalization and a decorative image.

He was a co-founder of the international exhibition of original illustrations for children's books, the Bratislava Illustration Biennial, and led the UNESCO-BIB workshop for illustrators from developing countries.
