Born 1958 in Munich, he grew up in Bolzano (Italy), studied economy in Germany between 1978 – 1980 and returned to Italy where he soon established himself as a figurative painter. With the help of a bursary he moved to Vienna in 1993 where he met Rudolf Hausner, professor at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and described as ‘the first psychoanalytik painter’, with whom he studied and also worked as his assistance in Hausner’s private studio.
A further bursary brought Michael Kucera in 1995 to London where he lives since. Here he began to experiment with different materials and techniques, until developing his very unique style as a sculptor.
After the birth of his daughter he partly withdraw from the art world to dedicate his efforts to her upbringing till relaunching his career with a new exhibition in 2018 in Italy.
Kucera’s works can be found in public and private collections throughout Europe, here in the UK and in the US.
