Dieter Seidel
On his way to become an artist Dieter Seidel became a 'Seeker', a tracer, a discover and alchemist, who creates his own confusing and different world. Before he converted to a searcher he was a viewer of his surroundings, painter and illustrator.
''....life, wich is traced by the 'discoverer' Seidel, becomes an art-product in his hands - is thereby visible as life.'' (Franz Zalto)
Born on August 14, 1942 he studied graphic design at the HTBL Ortweinplatz Graz and was an art tutor in Upper Styria. Since 1975 acted as freelancing artist, living working at the farm in Markt Allhau nearby the Styrian/Burgenland border.
