Agnes Handler is a Vienna-based artist. Primarily self-taught, she has attended numerous painting seminars and masterclasses, including studies at Kunstfabrik Wien.

Her paintings explore the complexity of human emotional landscapes. Moving between abstraction and figuration, her work investigates themes of identity, vulnerability, and liberation. Through layered textures and expressive color, she creates portraits that reflect both inner transformation and the search for authenticity.

Each painting invites the viewer to pause, reflect and discover a personal narrative within the image.

“I like the emotional depth of human beings. I like the thought that even in the nicest face, I can sense the abyss.”

Original works are available worldwide. Selected commissions are welcomed upon request.
