Otto Pavlicek’s quest for the ideal sense

What he does, is always important. Und if it is possible, Otto Pavlicek goes for perfection. He is a straightforward man with great imagination.
That’s why he loves colours and the art of painting. And there we are again at the perfect sense: With his works Otto Pavlicek is approaching this impossible but unifying ideal. Otto Pavlicek was born 1942 in Crvenka, former Yugoslavia. His parents were ethnic Germans. 1962 Otto Pavlicek emigrated with his family to Germany. For 17 years he worked as a hostel warden, thereafter he ten years joined the public services. “I’m interested in painting since I was a little boy. After eight years of school I went to Neusatz, where I studied at the School of Arts. In Germany I continued studying painting at the remote-
academy at Karlsruhe. I like playing with colours and often I’m painting til late at night. And I’m trying to find the ideal sense for each of my pictures.”
Every viewer discovers this ideal sense in a different kind of way. And that’s the way Otto Pavlicek likes it. Otto Pavilicek likes colours. In his pictures he arranges the colours with baroque generosity. His favourite colours are gold, red and white. For the background he prefers black. His first critics always are his wife, his daughter and his son, in this order. It was his son, who persuaded his father Otto Pavlicek after a long rest period to paint again paint. Since then Otto Pavlicek is producing one piece of art after the other.
