Friedensreich Hundertwasser

Hundertwasser resided in a home in Venice across from the Piazza San Marco. The city provided a unique inspiration for his art. The ever present water yielded patterns and reflections in the colourful light, the clothes that hang from windows offered him a dizzying array of jumbled colours, and the natural aging of the buildings made mould and decay strangely beautiful.

Hundertwasser believed strongly in all art as decoration, to inspire, provoke and express.

Hundertwasser's paintings have been described as “heavy, rigid, archaic and primitive.” This primitivism has been seen mostly through his use of colour and line.

Hundertwasser can be considered a "colourist" painter, as colour is the dominant element of all his work. He uses highly saturated colours regardless of subject matter.

The colours of decay also attracted Hundertwasser. He finds the colours associated with mould to be an expression of the living nature of inan

Over the years he worked on many projects throughout Europe, each with its own individual yet practical approach to design and architecture.

For the design of the interior, artists from the region were given commissions. Hundertwasser only designed the aureole behind the altar, the floor of the Presbyterian and the spiral of the window behind the baptismal font.
