The artist about his work: "Following a process-oriented philosophy, I create works with nature and embedded in it. Rain, cold, ice, hail or sun affect my paintings and through the direct impact of the forces of nature, the themes of time, light and material take on a significant meaning in my work." Edelbert Köb says of Ty Waltinger's work: "Between science and the secret art of alchemy, he seeks the "philosopher's stone" of painting. He finds it in the world of nature, of substances, pigments, solvents, binders and forces."

Born in Vienna in 1962, Waltinger studied painting & graphics. He learns original painting techniques of Venetian panel paintings as well as old Japanese brush techniques. In 1993 he began to develop a special layer painting technique with natural pigments. Waltinger's work has been shown in numerous exhibitions in Austria, Switzerland and Germany; in addition to painting, it also includes film projects, photographic works and sound images in performances by music ensembles.
