The art was his greatest passion has always been, even as a young boy he discovered his talent . The Weinviertel in its own way offered the artist an inexhaustible reservoir for his work. When choosing his motifs, he made use of the possibilities offered by his closest surroundings by emphasizing the characteristic features. He often painted the same motifs from different angles. Be it to reproduce the essentials of the landscape, reduced to limited coloring and omission of all details up to abstraction, or, by exhausting a rich color palette, to capture a moment-bound mood. After dedicating his passion to naturalistic painting for many years, at the end of his artistic creative period he developed a tendency towards abstract painting, implemented in strong acrylic paintings. Franz Haas is one of the painters who shaped the artistic landscape in his homeland very strongly. His preferred techniques were oil , acrylic , pastel , red chalk, and etching .
