I want to make hidden things visible with my mountain paintings, so I do not see my pictures as hyperrealistic but rather as a spiritualized rendering of my impressions, like my contact with the mountain during alpine hiking and mountaineering.

Wolfgang 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.
The year 1997 stands as the beginning of his experimental phase, which was supposed to last for 5 years. During this time he works together with Prof. Ernst Fuchs (Vienna School of Fantastic Realism) and designs a new formal vocabulary for his paintings. He decides he does not want to release this for the time being. In 2001 he was a guest lecturer at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna (master class Muntean & Rosenblum). Another important of his projects is linked to the famous alpinist Reinhold Messner. Schrom paints large-sized pictures of the Dolomites, which are then exhibited in the highest museum in Europe, the Museum Dolomites in Cibiana di Cadore, Italy. Patagonia inspired the artist to new mountain images. Since 2006, his works Cerro Torre I and Cerro Torre II, as well as his installation "The prayer flags of Cerro Torre" in MMM Firmian (Messner Mountain Museum) on Sigmundskron, Bolzano permanently exhibited, and in 2015 his work Cerro Torre III in the Museum Corones.
In addition to his work as a visual artist, Wolfgang Schrom also worked in other artistic fields. He studied singing from 2009 to 2015 for six years with Ulrike Schuhmacher and Prof. Alexander Mayr. It is also worth noting that he graduated from the School of Poetry in the early nineties and attended the class of Ide Hintze. His contribution was selected and presented in the ORF RadioKulturhaus.
Wolfgang Schrom leads an open dialogue with all kinds of art. Although rooted in the tradition of occidental painting he is radically open to breaking new ground within art. His experiments in the field of digital art have revealed new ways within art to him. The artist reverts to the so-called “collective Unconscious” in his works, to the location of those instinctive patterns of thought and behavior that over the millennia of human experience have became what we call emotions and values. These archaic images cannot be called into consciousness, but can only be projected into the outside world in a symbolic form, as pictures. C. G. Jung named these symbols “archetypes”. Schrom uses the power of symbols to set positive examples and to use a language as an artist that can be understood by the whole world.
About Wolfgang 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.
Margit Strobl ( art historian, Catalogue Vineart )
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..
