Helga Vockenhuber
Helga Vockenhuber (*1963 in Mondsee) Is an Austrian artist. Her sculptures deal with the central questions of the world religions and the path of the individual to inner peace and to himself. For her bronze work «Contemplation» she embarked on a search or a spiritual sensibility of the human body, combining within it characteristic features belonging to people of diverse origins.

Vockenhuber's art is always powerful and tender at the same time. Her sculptures bring the uniqueness of man to the fore and tell of unearthly peace and inner serenity, of the reconciliation of the self with the often brutal world that surrounds us. "I want to give everyday life a soul," she says, "and create things that change people's view of the world." Her art is about "overcoming the confusions of a society that has apparently banished the term soul from its cultural horizons," as Gerhard Zschock expressed in the book "Soli Deo Gloria."
