In her oil paintings, Daniela Geissler utilizes Oil-techniques with highly pigmented artists' oils on museum-quality canvas. Through the slow and meditative process of building layer upon layer, she achieves a vibrant depth of light that makes the canvas feel alive.
Daniela Geissler is a contemporary Austrian artist dedicated to the technical perfection, Photorealism, and Modern Mystic Realism. Operating as an independent solo artist, she focuses entirely on the mastery of craftsmanship, precision, and narrative depth by Magical Realism. Her exceptional oeuvre is divided into two highly specialized disciplines: narrative oil paintings and complex monochrome drawings.

Persephone’s Gaze
In this oil painting, solitary artist Daniela Geissler redefines the ancient myth of Persephone into a global, contemporary icon. Moving away from historical clichés, this work of Mythological Hyperrealism portrays a modern woman who has conquered her own shadows. Through a hypnotic, powerful gaze, this updated Persephone stands not as a passive victim, but as a self-empowered queen of her own duality—seamlessly uniting the light of spring with the depth of the underworld.

Each work stands as a monument to patience, precision, and the timeless beauty of high-end realism, inviting international viewers to explore the hidden depths behind the canvas.
Artistic Style & Focus: Contemporary, narrative hyperrealism and Mystic Realism painting in Austria. The central focus lies on character-driven portraits carrying a profound emotional, spiritual, and mythological resonance.

Key Milestones: The completion of her monumental, two-meter-tall early masterpiece “Bacchus” (oil on canvas, 200 x 115 cm) at just 25 years old—the result of a deeply meditative, solitary process at the easel.
Exhibitions & Critique: A documented history of institutional exhibitions, highlighted by a comprehensive solo exhibition at the historic Schloss Alt-Kainach, which received exceptional acclaim by the renowned art critic Bernd Schmidt.
