Artist And Art Teacher
Mario Schleinzer found his artistic home in Wolfgang Hutter's master class with his surreal, fantastic pictures. With the entry in the encyclopedia of fantastic artists in 2012, Schleinzer also joined the list of his famous predecessors and teachers in the book.
Schleinzer started as a teacher at the Vienna art school and at various locations of the Vienna adult education centers, while he was still studying at the university. The contact with his students, the teaching and passing on of experience and knowledge, to finally see how students develop over the years, has remained a joy for him to this day.
For Mario Schleinzer, painting means looking inside. It does not require long journeys to foreign countries, if the vastness and strangeness of one's own, short existence in this world can hardly be deciphered. For him, exploring the world means tracking down the actual existence of man inside. Painting not only enables the artist to communicate with himself, it is also the only way for him to express the complexity of perception at all. It is a visualization of feelings and thoughts and it is a look at reflections of the impressions of the outside world. The images are displays of innermost feelings, but at the same time the disclosure is protected by the symbolic value of the objects, shapes and colors. The artist opens up to the world, invites you to take a look inside, and yet the viewer is left in the dark.

Jump Into The World Of "Fantastic Realism" Of Mario Schleinzer
In an interview, the painter was once asked what his greatest gain was that he would get from his work with art.
He replied: Art gives meaning to my life. A creative urge forces me to work and this creative process makes me happy and fills me with deep satisfaction.
When I create my own world in a picturesque way, I forget everything around me. I just paint and that is the highest form of self-fulfillment.
