Color and material

My art

My abstract painting is an expression of joy, lightness and freedom of thought. Colors, forms and lively surfaces develop during the painting process into worlds of their own.

I work with acrylic paints and a variety of materials and textures. Each work is created individually and is meant, above all, to bring joy – without posing questions or requiring a particular interpretation.

“Art should create joy and leave freedom for one’s own imagination.”

The artist

About me

Franz S. Hlinka, born in 1952 in Straubing, is a self-taught artist working in abstract acrylic painting. After his working life he returned more fully to his earlier passion, painting. He works in his studio in Straubing.

In his studio, abstract acrylic paintings emerge from the interplay of color, texture and spontaneous composition. Here, things are tried out, layered, set aside and begun anew – always with joy in painting and an openness to the unexpected.

Abstract painting – personal, free and full of expression.

Plaque “A look inside the studio – a place for color and freedom”: Franz Hlinka sits in his studio among canvases, paints and a work table with a painting in progress. Below is the text: In my studio, abstract acrylic paintings emerge from the interplay of color, texture and spontaneous composition.
