Hel­mut SWOBODA, born on 1 Jan­u­ary 1958 in Amstetten/NÖ, grad­u­at­ed from the Höhere Graphis­che Bun­deslehr- und Ver­such­sanstalt in Vien­na from 1975 to 1979. From 1979 to 1984 he stud­ied at the Acad­e­my of Fine Arts in Vien­na (mas­ter class Wolf­gang Hol­legha). Nature is a source of inspi­ra­tion for Hel­mut Swo­bo­da. His paint­ing shows the rough­ness of the moun­tain land­scapes that inspire the artist. In his recur­ring motifs he tries to repro­duce the move­ments of water, to take up the rhythm of water and trans­fer it to the can­vas, work­ing with brush­es, brooms, sponges, rags and mate­ri­als he finds in nature. Swoboda’s art lives from the dialec­tic between the ref­er­ence to nature and the auton­o­my of the some­times quite mono­chrome con­densed image. (Peter Weier­mair) Since 1984 the artist has tak­en part in exhi­bi­tions, exhi­bi­tion par­tic­i­pa­tions and art fairs at home and abroad and has received numer­ous hon­ours, prizes and awards, includ­ing the “trend art spec­trum” prize (1985), the Förder­preis für bildende Kun­st, Land Niederöster­re­ich (1988), the San­doz Art Prize (1995) and the Cul­ture Prize of the City of Amstet­ten (1998). Hel­mut Swo­bo­da lives and works in Amstet­ten and Vien­na. 1999 – first exhi­bi­tion in the gallery Welz.
