In Memory of Christian Nesvadba (1977 - 2008)

It is with deep regret we inform you of the tragic passing of the esteemed Christian Nesvadba. Christian was involved in an auto accident on October 7, 2008. He left behind a daughter and wife.

We share in this loss with Christian’s father, Gerhard and his mother, Hermine. Please keep the entire family in your thoughts and prayers.

Christian Nesvadba was born to paint. His eye for color, movement, and mood are exquisite, and his riotous Impressionist flowers are only beginning to receive the attention they merit. His first major award was the prestigious SalzBurger Kulturfonds Prize, earned in 1997 when the artist was just twenty years old. Two one-man shows in SaIzberg (premiere) and in Linz followed in 1998. He enjoyed a One-Man Exhibition at the Galerie Operning in Vienna in 1999, and his US debut at the NY Art Expo 2000 with Paul Robinson, Inc., all before age 23.

Nesvadba was born in 1977 in Vienna, son and grandson of successful painters. His father, the celebrated landscape artist, Gerhard Nesvadba, was his first tutor.
