Life

Ilse Abka received artistic support at an early age, she received her first acting lessons at the age of five and played the role of Agnes in the film The Year of the Lord when she was ten . But she soon became more interested in painting, which she learned in the studio of the set designer. After graduating from high school, she studied from 1958 at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna with Robin Christian Andersen and Herbert Boeckl . At the academy she met the Tyrolean painter and draftsman Peter Prandstetter, whom she soon married and with whom she moved to Tyrol. She interrupted her artistic training until she was invited by Max Weiler to continue her studies in his class at the Vienna Academy, which she graduated with a diploma in 1970.

She learned to weave from a hand weaver in Innsbruck and initially mainly created tapestries based on painted watercolors. She quickly received numerous orders and, among other things, wove large-format tapestries for public institutions, such as a 36 square meter work for the Innsbruck Congress Center. After giving up weaving, she turned to painting in oils and pigments . Again and again she received orders as part of the art-in-building program of the state of Tyrol and designed facades with monumental paintings or mosaics. She lives in Aldrans and has studios in Innsbruck and Vienna.

Ilse Abka-Prandstetter has been a member of the Tyrolean Artists' Association since 1972, and was on the board from 1990 to 2003. For many years she was also a member of the culture committee of the state of Tyrol.
