A painter of German-Serbian origin from Sombor (Serbia), Atila Schroeder received first formal recognition in India, at a collective exhibition, where his work was noticed being specific and characterized by extremely original expression.
Living as a monk for six years, for some time in India, Atila Schroeder has deeply reached in the field of spirituality. Reflected in spontaneous movements of his soul, his need for artistic expression is rooted in a deep lust for self-accomplishment.
By frequently reiterating: “I did not know that the art is such a powerful tool for working on oneself,” he in fact says that he, although well in mid thirties, is still an innocent child who keeps discovering the world around him again and again, with the same enthusiasm and fascination.
A rich and variegated language of his artistic expression, defined by vibrant colors and movements, reveals traces of diversified cultural milieus of Greece, Cyprus, Hungary, Italy, India... All of his paintings disclose a need for freedom of movement, a quest for the true self and a heroic effort to leave a mark on the water... In one word, a need to live happily and joyfully discovering the MAGIC OF LIFE.
