Werner Szendi
AUSTRIA
_p.png)
"Every stroke lands exactly where the inner silence directs it."
Werner Szendi operates at the unique intersection of classical artistic discipline and profound spiritual inquiry. His creative practice bridges the cultural landscapes of his native Austria and his studio in Texas. This dual existence informs a visual language that transcends geographical boundaries to address universal human experiences. He approaches painting not merely as a method of documentation but as a way to construct atmospheric fields of resonance. The work invites viewers to step into spaces where energy and matter appear to converge.
Archangel Michael | Acrylic
$8,000
47 X 39
Judaism, Islam and Christianity regard Michael as one of the four archangels.
As a warrior of light, he guides the souls of the deceased on their journey to the afterlife and is depicted with the attributes of the scales for justice and the flaming sword for light and truth.
He protects against negative energies, fears, dangers and threats and is the only archangel mentioned in the Bible. The name of my Grandfather and second name of my son is Michael. So he is my personal guarding angel.
Early exposure to sacral art played a pivotal role in shaping his technical foundation. The creation of paintings for church interiors familiarized him with the rigorous methods of the Old Masters. This historical grounding provided him with a command over light and shadow that few contemporary abstractionists possess. He learned to manipulate perspective to guide the eye with deliberate precision. These academic roots ensure that even his most metaphysical concepts rest upon a stable structural framework.
Torus Energy Field | Acrylic
$7,000
47 X 39
Through the center of the torus field runs a channel of light that flows through us and connects us to heaven and earth, thus keeping us in divine balance. Through conscious breathing we can strengthen the flow of energy. The energy flows through the channel, completely around the body through the torus and back in. This pattern of energy flow is found from galaxies to the human body and is one of the central patterns of creation.
His choice of materials reflects a desire to combine the earthly with the ethereal. The artist utilizes a diverse array of mediums including oil, acrylic, watercolor, and pencil. He frequently incorporates gold leaf and semi precious stones to add physical texture and light reflection to the canvas. These elements ground the work in the physical realm while suggesting a richness that goes beyond surface appearance. Every material is selected for its ability to hold and transmit specific vibrational qualities.
"Vibrant hues act as medicine for the weary human heart."
Precise application of the golden ratio governs the composition of his paintings. Szendi relies on this ancient mathematical principle to instill a deep sense of harmony within each piece. The balance achieved through these proportions creates a subconscious feeling of peace for the observer. Light serves as the primary architect in his work and defines the emotional temperature of the image. Shadows are not merely dark areas but active participants that give volume and mystery to the forms.

The torus is a fascinating primordial form that represents a self-sustaining, stable energy system and a body of sacred geometry.
Within it, life energy can be absorbed, circulated, and spent energy released.
Circles create a pinwheel and finally infinity symbols.
The rainbow colors create an enormous energy field that opens the heart and supports physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.
Rainbow Torus Yantra | Acrylic

The sphere emerges as a central and recurring motif throughout his body of work. He treats this geometric form as a symbol of cosmic perfection and universal unity. These spherical elements often float within the composition to suggest celestial bodies or atomic structures. They act as focal points that anchor the more fluid and abstract backgrounds. The artist views the sphere as a cultural and natural constant that resonates with the human psyche.
"My canvas demands that the observer stop thinking and start feeling. The logic of the brain must surrender to the wisdom of the open heart."
"True creation demands that I step away from the limitations of sensory perception to access a deeper well of understanding. I look through the emotional eye to capture what the physical eye cannot see. By combining technical precision with divine inspiration, I aim to produce work that resonates with the eternal aspects of humanity. The canvas becomes a meeting place for the material and the divine to interact without barriers."
Color functions as a frequency rather than a decorative element in his practice. Szendi studies the psychological and energetic impacts of specific hues before applying them. He layers transparent washes to create depth and luminosity that seems to emanate from within the canvas. This chromatic approach aims to activate emotional and spiritual dimensions within the viewer. The paintings oscillate between inner landscapes and outer cosmic geometries through this mastery of color.

This painting embodies the essence of ascension – both in professional and spiritual life – reminding us that stability, success, security, abundance, and blessing are not distant goals, but energies that can accompany us at every step of the journey.
The golden steps are deliberately chosen: they symbolize perseverance, the courage to move forward step by step, and the certainty that every ascent is sustained by inner strength. The upward-spiraling form reflects the dynamic rhythm of life – a continuous unfolding that, through its circles and turns, leads us ever closer to the light. It is a sign of the union between earthly action and spiritual growth, of transformation and expansion.
Radiant hues of yellow, gold, and white shine with solar power and evoke divine presence. They offer confidence, open the gaze toward the future, and create an atmosphere that conveys both inspiration and serenity. The work resonates like an energetic field, strengthening the viewer, awakening their own potential, and encouraging them to walk their path with trust and clarity.
“The Path into the Light” is more than a painting – it is a companion. A symbol of inner and outer ascension, of the unfolding of one’s potential, and of deep connection with the divine. It speaks of hope and of the certainty that every step into the light is also a step toward oneself.
“The Path into the Light” is a work of blessing – a timeless artistic legacy that unites transformation, success, and abundance, reminding the viewer that true light always radiates from within.
Meditation and prayer act as essential precursors to his physical creative process. The artist engages in these rituals to clear his mind and align himself with higher inspiration. He views himself as a channel through which creative energy flows onto the canvas. This preparation ensures that the artwork carries an intention of healing and positivity. The physical act of painting becomes a seamless extension of his internal spiritual state.
The infinity sign, also known as lying eight or lemniscate, is a very powerful energy symbol and stands for the infinite, the everlasting development and balance.
It brings us into perfect balance and harmony, creating connection and balance between the two halves of the brain and the physical and subtle body.

His works frequently function as portals or thresholds between visible and invisible realities. These visual gateways invite the audience to expand their perception beyond the five senses. The layered compositions suggest creating a space where the known world dissolves into energetic experience. Szendi intends for these images to serve as transitional zones for consciousness. The paintings offer a sanctuary where the mind can rest and the spirit can expand.
The Shri Yantra is sacred geometry that has become form and is considered to be one of the oldest, purest and most powerful symbols. It is said to bring material and spiritual wealth and to bless the user with peace, strength and success.
The Shri Yantra creates a strong, balanced energy field with the high vibration and helps to remove obstacles in life by clearing the negative energies that surround us.

What does the art critic say?
The ultimate goal of his art is to foster freedom, peace, and love in the world. Szendi remains acutely aware of the responsibility that comes with creative expression. He directs his artistic output toward the elevation of human awareness and collective well being. The work avoids superficial trends in favor of meaningful engagement with the human soul. Each piece is an attempt to translate silence and connection into a tangible visual form.
In this work, Mother Ayahuasca appears as the guardian of profound insight. With closed eyes, surrounded by radiant colors, she embodies the quiet power of healing and awakening. Her green hair, interwoven with serpents, carries the ancient knowledge of the jungle and the energy of transformation. Above her head shines the golden sun – a symbol of clarity, guidance, and the light that shows the way.
Around her gather five spirit animals, acting as spiritual guardians:
🦅 The Eagle offers vision and truth.
🐆 The Jaguar stands for courage and the strength to move through shadows.
🦉 The Owl brings nocturnal wisdom and inner sight.
🐦 The Hummingbird opens the heart to joy and lightness.
🐍 The Serpent embodies transformation, healing, and the cyclical force of life.
Each of these animals is a mirror of our soul – a companion on the path to self-discovery and inner balance.
This painting is more than a work of art. It is an energetic portal that harmonizes spaces, strengthens rituals, and opens the heart to the unseen. Whoever contemplates it feels the invitation to step deeper into their own truth.
