After training as a goldsmith, the artistic all-rounder Hermann Serient hitchhiked through Europe for a few years. During this time he lived from his work as a painter and jazz musician. In 1965 he moved to Rohr in Burgenland, where the "Heanzen Cycle", a large series of pictures about southern Burgenland and its inhabitants, was created. At the same time he experimented with self-made instruments, took photos and made cartoons for the ORF. As a forerunner of the green movement in Austria, from the 1970s he increasingly addressed social and environmental issues in his work. The cycle "Icons of the 20th Century" was created. Landscape cycles with views of southern Burgenland followed from 1983. In 1992 he founded his own gallery, but soon focused mainly on painting again. Hermann Serient lives in Vienna and Rohr and exhibits in Austria, Germany and Japan. The Burgenland State Gallery dedicated a large retrospective to him in 2005 and 2015.
