Harald Brandl, born on December 26, 1960, is the child of a family of civil servants with roots in the working class, where his grandfather worked as a miner. As a child, his love for nature, environment, and animals was evident, and he displayed a talent for designing with different materials and colors. However, at the request of his parents, he decided to become a civil servant despite his passion for artistic expression.

Harald’s civil service career came to a sudden end due to an illness. This led him back to his love for nature and expression in art. His rural surroundings, long-standing view of global events, and the need for creative expression have influenced the variety of ideas and design elements in his works, which are executed using different techniques.
