Every single thought bases on, grows and evolves through experience.
Personal experiences, the specific selection of memories, the intensity of colours make a reproduction unique. To Guido Zehetbauer-Salzer reproductions are reflexions on a fascination, an amazed rendition of precious, paradisiacal life.
He amplifies his motive’s structures with colours and simultaneously reduces them on a formal level without omitting the focus on the character, the specific nature of a portrayed detail. On the contrary: Authenticity, passing on the exhilaration of the moment he enjoyed during the creative process is the aim. His paintings seek to capture the transcendence beyond time and space, the feeling of security and comfort of this peaceful coexistence.
Born in a town in the Vienna Woods, to Guido Zehetbauer-Salzer these surroundings have remained the equivalent of yearning, security and home ever since. From the very beginning he has considered the trees kind, familiar and sublime beings. Deep-rooted in the soil they bend towards the sun and, doing so, reach incredible heights. To him they are the greatest and most impressive among all the inhabitants of planet earth. Endlessly patient and solemnly peaceful.
