GUENTER KALTENECKER, born 1954 in Grossraming,
Upper Austria, lives with his family in Losenstein, situated in the picturesque Enns Valley.

By the age of 21 he got to know and appreciate the art of wood carving.
He began with ornamental carving, then applied relief-carving and evolved finally to the sculpture.

Various literatures were Guenter Kalteneckers guide in his self taught learning process.

“Talent is just big patience” is his opinion as a non conformist, but creative thinker.

His thoughts and emotions are reflected in various kinds of materials. Which to work with always gives a new feeling by the attraction of a new challenge.

“ART IS NOT THE BREAD, BUT THE WINE OF LIFE.”
