Christian Nesvadba 1977-2008
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 Gerard, 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, his own color sense 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 was 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
Poulsen Galleries has been proud to represent his work for many years.
