The artist is like his work of art: he loves humanity and nature. Carl Moroder, a true "Gardenese", is a direct descendant of the almost legendary "Lusenberg" and belongs to the Moroder family. He is slightly reserved and a dreamer, but he is always conscious of what he does and needs to be done. He was born amidst the world of art and sculpture, and five of his uncles are sculptors. It is natural that coming from this environment he decided to learn the artistry of carving, to go to the School of Art, to improve his skills and eventually leave the traditional "Gardenese" form of sculpture, with its abundant classical allusions, and find his own way. Five years ago, he decided to free his creative esprit and to develop his own style and technique. Carl Moroder is well aware of the fact that no one can create something completely anew, everyone is consciously or unconsciously influenced by his cultural heritage, every work of art, even the written one, is the eclectic result of past and present.

On the other hand, a true artist can reinterpret the past and develop his own talent into an harmonious and innovative creation. Just as Carl Moroder loves flying above the Dolomites with his glider, free to decide his own route and to experience new sensations, so he dares to move into the territory of the unknown with his works of art. When one of his works does not satisfy him, he turns his defeat into new stimulating challenges.

He believes that it may damage the artist's intuition. He finds in beauty and in the principle of aesthetics the foundation of his art. What can you gain from displaying expensive painting on your walls, only to show material possession? Paintings and sculptures should represent the soul and the spirit of the owner: true aesthetics without vanity.

Who influenced Carl Moroder? The young "Gardenese" admits without shame that it was Klimt and the "Jugendstil". Klimt successfully took the risk of setting his innovative art against the classical tradition wanted by the Kaiser and to initiate the movement of Secession while Vienna was still living the splendour of its rebirth. Although Klimt was considered a revolutionary, his painting "The Kiss" is now displayed in the Austrian "Staatsgalerie". Like Klimt also Moroder likes to take risks. His art exhibition in Frankfurt provoked both amazement and critical judgements. Specialists concord in seeing in Moroder the reinterpretation of the "Jugendstil" and the influence of Klimt and Schiele, with his strong colours, his immensely decorative expression, and his enchanting enthusiasm Carl Moroder chooses organic and dynamic shapes. Form and vitality work hand in hand. Most shapes are rounded and suggest a circle: it is the parabola of vital forces that germinate and struggle to find in love their final synthesis. Metaphor makes place for a slightly transfigured harmony. Moroder's reliefs emanate strength and certainty, but above all vibrant secrecy. It is the secrecy of feminine attraction that finds in love's harmony its accomplishment.
