Helmut Ditsch (Buenos Aires 1962) moved to Austria in 1988, where he studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. In 1997, he was awarded a special prize by the Bauholding Kunstförderpreis, the predecessor of the STRABAG Artaward, on account of his exceptional works. Ditsch lives and works in Vaduz/Liechtenstein, Vienna and Argentina. His realistic, large-scale landscape depictions form a stand-alone position in international contemporary painting and are of breathtaking presence in their detail. As a passionate extreme mountaineer and athlete, Helmut Ditsch finds the motifs for his paintings in areas that he himself has hiked through and experienced, such as the Perito-Moreno glacier in Argentina, mountain peaks in the Alps, or the desert of Death Valley.
