Christian Nesvadba

Christian Nesvadba 1977-2008

Christian was an increasingly well known European artist. He was even said to have had the potential to be Europe's most prestigious artist. Unfortunately he was involved in a fatal car accident in October, 2008.

Christian was born in Vienna, into a family with an artistic heritage for several generations.In the regular school system his talent for drawing was soon recognized by his teachers and he changed to a school specializing in drawing and engineering. That, however was too technical for the young man so he decided to devote himself to a more artistic career. His first and foremost tutor was his father, by himself a well known and highly successful artist. His first paintings were done on his fathers' easel, but while in drawing he could learn a great deal from his father, in the color sense he very soon developed his own style, bold and fresh and vibrant.

Christian Nesvadba loved flowers. He traveled extensively and was an ardent photographer. His view of flowers is a very personal one, it is not so much the exact botanical form, it is the color, sometimes the explosion of colors that he expresses in his paintings.

He has won numerous prestigious awards, exhibited in many galleries and is collected worldwide
