BIOGRAPHY


ex portEberhard Exel was an Austrian customs officer. At the same time, he trained as painter as a private pupil with Robin Christian Andersen and as a ceramicist with Gustinus Ambrosi and Leopold Anzengruber.

He reported having unusually vivid dreams, in which he thought he had lived in a distant era, for example in the lands of the Sumerians. He also remembered a past existence as a Dolphin. These experiences led him to study ancient cultures and religions, the secret and esoteric knowledge and he was especially keen on astrology.

Exel's mediumistic drawing is an example of a transitory anomalous experience. Before he began his artistic training, Exel spontaneously experienced an altered state of consciousness in which he had the feeling that his hand was controlled by a foreign influence. He created a portrait of an old man in the style of Renaissance art. This work was stylistically very different from anything he had drawn or painted before. Even later he never created a similar work again. Exel was firmly convinced that he had lived through an exceptional experience, in which Albrecht Dürer or another master of Renaissance art had drawn through him.
