Harald Rabl's path to art has always been driven by a deeply rooted urge for creative freedom. He lives by the motto: "As long as you can do things that make you happy, prefer them, because life is too short for anything less." This philosophy runs like a thread through his artistic work. It is this passion that makes his works so unique and powerful.

Born and raised near Vienna in the early 1980s, Rabl developed a passion for drawing and painting early on, even though art was not a central part of his immediate environment – inspired by his grandfather and uncle, who were also active in the arts. Science fiction, fantasy, and horror films fueled his early creative impulses. During an apprenticeship as a media designer, he realized that the strict guidelines and working according to others' wishes limited his creativity. He decided to pursue his own approach to art without being influenced by traditional methods or teachings. In his first exhibitions, he presented his work to the public. After several professional stops and a move to northern Germany, Rabl became a full-time artist at the age of 38. Ideas from past years and new projects could now take shape.

The creative process of his art has changed over the years. In the past, he often painted and drew existing motifs in detail from photos or real templates. With experience, the realization that art flourishes best when the creative process is allowed to flow unhindered became stronger. Today, his works are often created spontaneously and without a plan, giving him greater freedom of mind and spirit. Rabl's art is the result of constant experimentation with materials and techniques, with the entire cosmos serving as his source of inspiration. In addition to his passion for painting, Rabl draws creative energy from films, series, video games, and nature – all these elements flow into his work. His unique style evokes associations with H. R. Giger or Dalí.

In an intuitive creative process, Harald Rabl develops works that express his passion and attitude: Complex, multi-layered motifs invite the audience to follow their own paths in interpretation.
