     Artist ‘Prof. MMag. Elmar Peintner ’ tries to capture and demonstrates in all of his works that he is a thoughtful observer of both nature and humans, but also being an artist who always pushes the boundaries and looks beyond the obvious manifestations of nature and humans in his drawings and paintings. His "microcosmic examinations of shapes and forms" (Magdalena Hörmann) are always a part of something larger, speaking of numerous universal scenarios from life and first hand experience; however, his astute observation and accurate replication of human behaviour can also be interpreted as a metaphor for nature's perpetual change. The focus of his art is not so much on naturalistic portrayals of the natural world as it is on exploring the psychological and physiological aspects of the human condition.
