VER ERAT AETERNUM, 1972

He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna under Sergius Pauser and Herbert Boeckl 1954-60. Between 1971 and 1977 he produced seven windows for Pfarrkirche Heiligenkreuz in Hall. Along with a large body of work consisting of watercolours, reverse glass painting was his preferred medium. Starting from the frame, which could be the frame of a painting, window or door, he painted on glass, without any initial drawing, using a thick glaze painting technique.
