Manfred Hebenstreit (Altheim/Upper Austria 1957) studied painting and graphic arts at the Linz University of Art after completing an apprenticeship as a precision mechanic. Hebenstreit is considered one of the most important contemporary painters in Upper Austria. The starting point of his gestural painting are memorable landscapes with their vegetation and light moods, his own emotions and the observation of interpersonal relationships. Hebenstreit's painting unfolds a powerful, vital energy from lush colors and the combination of abstract signs and figurative allusions. In 1995 Manfred Hebenstreit was awarded a Bauholding Kunstförderpreis, the predecessor of the STRABAG Artaward.
