Gudrun Petrik
The artist Gudrun Petrik creates her essential watercolors and mixed-media works on paper and canvas.

Her artworks invite the viewer to “look inward” and “let go” of all their everyday worries and thoughts, thus inviting us on a journey into the unconscious.

The explosive energy is interwoven with a delicacy, without contradicting it.
In every drop of paint, we encounter the blossoming of a bud, which then usually disappears when viewed as a whole …

by Jakob Kompatscher

Michele Fiocco paints objects that are always present in our surroundings. His motifs are mainly horses, which enable the viewer to rediscover the ordinary through the artist’s eyes. The horses or horse forms can sometimes be true, sometimes fiction, metaphor and become reality or vice versa.

The artist wants you to go on a journey with him in order to discover something special in everyday life. He invites the viewer to keep looking for new elements in his pictures that grow with him because the human soul is always in evolution.

Oberbacher Simon

Oberbacher Simon – Woodturner

Simon Oberbacher reveals archaic forms in his archaic wooden sculptures, which he expresses in a contemporary artistic language.

The art historian and art critic Andrea Baffoni writes: “From a single piece of wood, the artist forms bowls, essential shapes associated with the ancient theme of the mother’s womb. He shapes them with a thin shell so that the wood moves as it dries and the end result is a vital asymmetry. This is also expressed in the cracks, which are stapled together with decorative interventions.”
