began studying interior architecture at the University of Vienna. Once
he completed his studies, he began working for a German department
store as an interior designer. His work here was brief but he was very
successful at what he did. Many believe that Hofer s sense of
adventure could not be satisfied without traveling. He traveled
throughout Europe, and Africa extensively. Ultimately he established
himself in Rome, Italy. He remained there for 20 years and befriended
the well known film director Frederico Fellini, who gave him his first
introduction to acting. Hofer s voyages continued and he visited many
extraordinary locations, and embraced many of the local customs. It is
said that his experiences in travels is where he drew much of his
inspiration for his paintings. His painting style combines very
elaborate design and colors, which give his works a distinct feeling
of refinement with a touch of fantasy. He is self described as the
primitive Austrian and his work as modern primitives . In 1984, his
world renowned work titled Search for Paradise earned him the United
Nations Peace Prize.
