With my painted mountain pictures, I want to make the hidden visible. That is why I do not see my pictures as hyperrealistic, but as a spiritualized reproduction of my impressions, as it were, of my contact with the mountain during alpine mountaineering.

Wolfgang Arpad Schrom was born in Vienna, Austria. Since his early youth the artist’s drawings have been sharpening his sense for representational painting. Already at the age of 15 he studied painting and graphics at the art school in Vienna. Prof. Ernst Fuchs and Ass.-Prof. Wolfgang Marx became his other teachers. During his years of study he specialized in the techniques of the old masters. The so-called tempera-oil paint mixing technique has a formative influence on his whole artistic work
Study trips to Italy, Belgium and France followed. He shifted the focus of his artistic work to commissioned painting and graphics. The contact with the new medium digital art made a lasting impression on him and broadened his horizons for the extraordinary and the new.
Also worth mentioning is his guest lectureship at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna (Muntean & Rosenblum master class). Another important project was connected with the famous mountaineer Reinhold Messner. Schrom painted large-format mountain pictures of the Dolomites, which are exhibited in Europe's highest museum, the Museum Dolomites in Cibiana di Cadore, Italy. His travels to Patagonia inspired the artist to create new oil paintings of the unique Cerro Torre mountain. His works can be found in private and public collections, including several museums in Italy such as the Museum Dolomites, Firmian, and Corones.
In addition to his work as a visual artist, Wolfgang Arpad Schrom was also interested in other artistic fields. From 2009 to 2015, he studied singing for six years with Ulrike Schuhmacher and Prof. Alexander Mayr. The artist also graduated from the SFD School of Poetry and attended Ide Hintze's class. His contribution was selected and presented at the ORF's RadioKulturhaus.
Wolfgang Arpad Schrom engages in an open dialogue with all forms of art. Although rooted in the tradition of occidental painting he is radically open to breaking new ground within art. His experiments in digital art have revealed new avenues for him in art. In his work, the artist draws on the “collective unconscious,” the seat of those instinctive patterns of thought and behavior that, over thousands of years of human experience, have become what we call emotions and values. These archetypes cannot be brought into consciousness, but can only be projected into the outside world in symbolic form, as images. C.G. Jung called these symbols “archetypes.” Schrom uses the power of symbols to send positive messages and, as an artist, to speak a language that is understood throughout the world.
About Wolfgang Arpad Schrom
Have we already seen the TOWER OF BABEL? No, because the interpretation of artist Wolfgang Schrom is only being presented to the public for the first time. The artist states: “I draw from the unconscious; I visualize and try to realize a form of beauty in my artistic work.” Image, technical experiments, digital sketch and transformation by hand mark Schrom’s newest paintings. The TOWER OF BABEL is the emblem for the moment, in which the confusion of tongues emerges on earth.
Schroms cycle TOWER OF BABEL depicts a possible future of harmony that finds itself in the variety of colors and forms. The stylistic significance touches one’s inspiration and marks the encounter with cubism, defined as synchronicity within the polychrome dimension of color within space, understood as frequencies of light.

The mountain is self-centered, doesn’t move, is always the same but then again ragingly unsettled for the human, who never sees the mountain in the same light. Mountains show themselves in their most different colors. Colors that constantly change. From the sunrise to the white light of midday and the dawning sunset light to the red of the setting sun.
Colors that Viennese painter Wolfgang Schrom captures in his painting “The 7 Colors of Cadini”. A carbon print, reflecting pop-art, homage to Reinhold Messner, whereby the original can be admired at Museum Dolomites in Cibiana di Cadore, the highest museum in Europe. Schroms mountain pictures are characterized by a precision to the tiniest detail while being hyper realistic in technique with an immediate vitality in the coloring..
