In 1990, Gradischnig learned the ceramic technique for wall design from Karl Schüssler in Wolfsberg.

The painter, graphic artist and ceramist is a member of the Carinthian and Salzburg Art Associations. Works of the artist have been presented in numerous exhibitions and participations in exhibitions at home and abroad since 1973.

With expressive brushstrokes Gradischnig interprets the essence of nature in different light situations. In his landscape paintings he shows a second reality in which the colors deliberately set accents and allow the atmospheric to emerge.
