Anton Franz Hoeger, born in 1956 in Munich, Germany, now resides near Dallas, Texas, with his wife and muse. His artistic roots trace back to the Viennese School of Fantastic Realism, where he was a master student of Professor Ernst Fuchs.

His breakthrough came with a solo exhibition at the Museum Meštrović-Pavillon in Zagreb in 2017 (HDLU), where he was awarded an honorary prize for one of the most successful and outstanding exhibitions.

“A special focus of mine is the modern, self-confident woman—a sub-theme I have been exploring for many years. Not only through biblical roles and Greek mythology (which I see as avatars of a specific human archetype), but also in a real, albeit somewhat alienated, context. The concept of the avatar is crucial to my work because it represents a character, a type of human being, rather than a specific person.”

Anton Hoeger is a winner of many international art prizes, and his works have been exhibited in numerous cities around the world such as Montreal, New York, San Diego, Cincinnati, Zurich, Zagreb, Florence, Munich, Nuernberg, Berlin, Frankfurt, Leipzig, Kiel, just to name a few.
