Born on 27 May 1951, Wolfgang Vrbica moved to Argentina in 1952, where he attended primary school and two years of secondary school. From the age of fifteen to eighteen, he worked with a textile enterprise. In 1969, he had an accident at a stream, leading to complete paralysis. In three years, he had taught himself to paint with his mouth. Wolfgang Vrbica paints with oil, watercolour, tempera and mixed media. He has an individual style that is strongly influenced by Naïve art. Vrbica’s works are characterised by its strong use of colour and sometimes appear to be idyllic or fairytale landscapes.
