Sculpture “Aglaia” by Peter Hohberger, version in artificial marble, limited edition

Born in Silesia on November 12, 1939, sculptor Peter Hohberger was engaged in drawing and modeling from a young age. After a successful acting career, he has devoted himself to painting and the visual arts for many years. He consciously considers himself a sculptor in the classical sense. His fundamental aesthetic understanding is shaped by nature; it is the beauty of the human body itself that fascinates him and which he translates into his nudes and portrait busts, untouched by modernism. He does not deny his role models: the masters of ancient Greece, Auguste Rodin, and above all Arno Breker, who personally instructed him. He has learned from all of them, and not only in the precision with which he depicts the beauty of the female form. Hohberger believes: "Art that enriches life and brings joy to people outlasts every kind of so-called zeitgeist.".
