Korab grew up in Falkenstein in the Weinviertel and experienced the terrible events of the Second World War as a child, which has shaped his art to this day. After graduating from high school, he went to the capital to study at the Academy of Fine Arts with Sergius Pauser. During his student years he moved in the circle of the then strongly dominant "Vienna School of Fantastic Realism". Korab arrived at his unique style in the late 1960s when he began to experiment with different materials such as polyester, printmaking, screen printing and lithography, as well as elements from nature.
