Live and act

Serient was born in 1935 as Hermann Steiner in Melk. His stage name is an anagram of the real surname Steiner. In 1940 the family moved to Vienna . Between 1950 and 1954 he completed an apprenticeship in goldsmithing and the jewelry school in Vienna. In 1963 he founded his own studio in Vienna and became a freelance artist and caricaturist for the Wiener Arbeiter-Zeitung and satirical magazines. In 1965 he founded a studio in Rohr in southern Burgendland; the oil painting cycle "Heanz cycle" was created. Between 1972 and 1974 he worked intensively with photography and produced numerous cartoons, ceramics and sculptures. In 1975 sculptures were created in the St. Margarethen quarry . In the ORF film "Heanzenland" he took on the role of the "small judge". In 2005 the Burgenland State Gallery in Eisenstadt organized a retrospective for him.

In 1988 he reopened a studio in Vienna. The time-critical cycle "Insanity has already begun" was created. He made woodcuts, monotypes, book illustrations, votive and devotional boards.

In 1992, Serient founded his own gallery, which he managed himself until 1995.

In 2005, Serient began with the cycle "Masks and Masked" - oil paintings and etchings. In 2011 he published a cassette with 25 etchings in an edition of 7 copies for this cycle.

The realization of his responsibility for the future determines Serient's imagery with which he takes a stand against world destruction and collective denial.
