art as an inner journey
explore the extraordinary story of an artist who has transformed shapes, colors, and symbols into a universal language. from architecture to painting, a journey that celebrates mystery and the human soul.
the roots of a boundaryless artist
frank glanz was born in 1949 in salzburg, austria. his life began to nurture his boundless curiosity, leading him across territories and cultures: from switzerland to germany, the united states, and the pulsating heart of contemporary art, new york. but it was in basel where his true enlightenment occurred, with the discovery of anthroposophy, a philosophical-spiritual movement that profoundly influenced his artistic vision. subsequently, his travels to asia, particularly tibet, led him to discover and embrace buddhism, a philosophy reflected in some of his works.
from architecture to painting
in 1975, frank glanz earned his master and architectural decorator diploma in salzburg. working as a designer, he developed a unique relationship with shapes and colors, which naturally led him to painting. as a self-taught artist, his early paintings caught the attention of giorgio de chirico, master of metaphysical painting.
the world knows frank
in 1977, a prestigious recognition crowned his talent: the “national award for art and work” from the roman academy. his works have graced galleries and museums in iconic cities such as rome, vienna, zurich, and hong kong, showcasing a universal artistic language.
symbolism: beyond the boundaries of visible reality
frank glanz embraces symbolism to explore the inner world and the deepest emotions. his works use symbols and archetypal figures, inviting viewers on a personal journey beyond visible reality. as he loves to say: ‘a rose is a rose, not a rose,’ an allusion to art’s ability to transcend superficial meanings.
the legacy of great masters in the contemporary dimension
the artist combines the freedom of symbolism with the precision of flemish technique. through thin layers of color and masterful use of light, glanz creates works of extraordinary depth and brilliance. every detail, from textures to lighting effects, reflects a careful observation of reality, transformed into visual poetry.
art as a tool for introspection and spiritual growth
the encounter with anthroposophy marked a fundamental turning point in glanz’s artistic journey. this approach, which unites science, spirituality, and art, inspired him to see the human being as a bridge between body, emotion, and spirit. this vision permeates each of his works, making his art not just an aesthetic expression but also a spiritual reflection. the influence of anthroposophy and buddhism intertwines in his poetics, giving his creations a universal depth.
