Artist Statement
The art of the indestructible spirit.
Through my art, I invite people to look beyond the obvious and discover deep emotions, ethical values, and creative perspectives. I foster synchronicity and fearlessness by encouraging viewers to engage with the depths of the human soul, ultimately shaping a more harmonious and connected world.
My journey has never been easy, but the obstacles have shaped and strengthened me. A severe accident that nearly ended my life made me resilient and unbreakable. I had to relearn how to walk and fought my way out of the hospital bed, despite being told I would never walk normally again. These challenges turned me into a fighter who never gives up. Numerous personal disappointments and experiences of abuse have also shaped me, sharpening my senses and allowing me to perceive the world with greater intensity and clarity.
As an artist, I express the contradictions and beauty of life through my work. My paintings are infused with neuro-sensitivity and deep empathy. I intensely absorb the moods and emotions of my surroundings and channel these impressions into my art. The faces I paint are more than mere portraits; they are emotional landscapes where light and shadow intertwine. Each piece is a dialogue between the inner and outer world, between reality and dream, between pain and hope.
My art is a mirror of my soul and an invitation for others to explore their own inner world. I dream of a world where people courageously share their feelings, build deeper connections, and prioritize inner richness over external appearances. A world where loneliness is a thing of the past, and we meet one another with open hearts and without barriers. By discovering beauty in our thoughts and actions, we can redefine outer beauty standards and bring inner values to the forefront.
Art is the light that finds us in the darkness.
In 2016, a fateful moment profoundly changed the life of Alexander Lindenhofer. A severe accident left him in a medically induced coma for three weeks, leaving deep marks on his soul and blurring the line between past and present. Yet, instead of being overwhelmed by this event, Alexander discovered an unshakable truth within himself. Although life had tested him harshly, he chose to see this path as an opportunity for growth and transformation.
The disappointment over those who abandoned him and his ongoing inner struggles became catalysts for his personal development. In 2023, while redesigning his apartment, his attention was drawn to a blank wall that sparked a new inspiration within him. He picked up a brush, a canvas, and some colors—unaware that he was holding the key to his own healing. With each brushstroke, Alexander poured his deepest emotions onto the canvas, finding not only a form of expression but also peace and self-confidence. By the end of 2023, he had created over 150 works, each symbolizing a step toward light and hope.
His artworks are more than just paintings; they are symbols of resilience and personal growth. Through his creations, Alexander wants to show the world that a person’s true treasures lie deep within and that one should never judge too quickly without knowing the battles a soul has fought. His journey, which began with pain, ultimately led him to a place of light and hope—a message he conveys with every brushstroke he brings to life.
Today, Alexander Lindenhofer creates portraits that are more than mere representations of outward appearance. His works challenge the viewer to look deeper and uncover the hidden stories that each person carries within. In the faces of his figures, the countless facets of being human are reflected—joy and sorrow, hope and despair, strength and fragility. Alexander's art is a call to capture the human experience in all its complexity, with an open heart and a keen mind. For in every face we look at, there lies the possibility of recognizing a story that might touch and inspire us—and bring us a little closer to ourselves.
