Hundertwasser is a person who never is afraid of his weaknesses or failures. He is always proud of his weaknesses. He also doesn’t mind people criticizing his works as he believed that he could learn from all his failures, weaknesses and bad critiques.

Hundertwasser loved colors a lot. He always used lots of colors in his paintings. He felt that colors helped to bring out the life of the forms he paints. Without the colors, the forms will look like they are withering. His favorite color is green as he likes the nature a lot. Hundertwasser never liked to follow the rules of colors; he liked to mix all sort of colors together and use different to represent different forms. For example, a pineapple can be in purple or blue.

Hundertwasser’s art revolved around the main groups of motifs: (1) One comprised a world of forms which served as analogies for vegetative growth and an animistic world. (2) The other contained architectural ciphers: houses, windows, gables, fences, gates and towers. One of the main characteristics of Hundertwasser’s art was that both groups of motifs were unseparably interwoven: vegetative forms seemed static, they hardened into architecture in order to endure, whereas everything constructed seemed to grow organically, as if brought forth by nature itself.
