vinko nino jaeger

Vinko Nino Jaeger uses media such as wood carving, abstract drawing, painting, photography, and writing. He studied contextual painting and object sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, graduating with distinction. He employs an abstract and surreal aesthetic to disrupt conventional concepts of the body. His working techniques focus on craftsmanship; he uses natural materials and creates his own paints according to his own recipes. He also frequently incorporates fire into his work. Dreams are often the starting point for his artistic practice. The dream is the connection to invisible, subterranean worlds. In transforming the dreamed, a spontaneous, abstract gesture is important to him—with half-open, half-closed eyes.
