A powerful fusion of two worlds: This warrior stands in front of Japan’s iconic rising sun, dressed in stylized samurai armor, but look closer - he carries the soul of Styria. Traditional Styrian patterns flow through his armor. A proud “Austrian deer antler” crowns his helmet - not just decoration, but identity. Sword drawn, energy captured - East meets West in one motion. Hidden in the artwork: “Styrian Samurai“, “Uniting Cultures“ - if you find it, you’re part of the story. This piece is about honor, heritage, and the beauty of connection.

Created in Tom’s signature layered acrylic technique, this commissioned work invites viewers into a dreamlike world of wanderlust. Through the soft blends, sharp lines, new cubism, surreal transitions, a hidden world unfolds - their home at the heart of it all, connected by clouds to faraway lands, wild creatures, and cherished passions. Cyclists ride through winding paths, dancers glide beyond a ribbon of piano keys, explorers cross continents. Every cloud carries a story, every brushstroke a memory, every hue a fragment of the great adventure we call life.

Floating weightlessly in an unreal realm, Fortuna is surrounded by clouds that swirl and dance around her. She holds a great horn overflowing with luck, from which two magnolia flowers gently fall, symbols of inner beauty. Hidden within their petals lies a quiet message: "Listen to your heart." Alongside them, small wishballs drift through the air. Each one a vessel of dreams, ideas, and fortune waiting to be claimed.
Beneath her, a small Greek-inspired temple let swirls of luck appear from its core, as if channeling the energy of fortune itself. To the bottom right, a tiny hotel-like structure emerges from the clouds, its scale emphasizing the goddess’s overwhelming presence and size of appearance.
Behind her, an abstract dome of flowing lines forms created from the backdrop, a sanctuary and gateway to possibility / temple like.
Yet, while Fortuna embodies the spirit of chance, luck is never merely given, it is recognized, shaped, and seized by those who dare to listen to their own hearts. This artwork is a reminder that fortune favors those who take action, who create their own opportunities, and who believe that within them lies the power to shape their destiny. An artwork about the trust that you can find within yourself!

“Don’t Worry Puppy” marks the first piece in Tom Lohner’s series, “Novelism”.
In this collection, the artist reimagines vintage book covers, infusing them with a deep connection to our animalistic instincts. Each character is depicted with an animal’s head, a symbolic reminder that, at our core, we are all creatures of nature.
This acrylic painting explores the tension between impulse and restraint. It captures a moment of imbalance: a cat-headed woman lunges forward, driven by ego and desire to seize everything at once. Opposite her, a dog-headed man remains calm, composed, knowing that true power lies in waiting for the right moment to respond.

This is the "The Charming Navigator" a painted sculpture, in the form of a bear with mouse ears. Standing at 100 cm tall and approximately 60 cm wide, this hard polymer sculpture is vibrantly adorned with acrylic paint in warm tones.

In this dynamic homage to the IncredibleHulk, artist Tom Lohner’s distinctive style brings the iconic character to life in vibrant hues and bold strokes. Painted with acrylic on a sizable canvas, the Hulk dominates the scene with his imposing presence and raw power.
The Hulk’s emerald green skin, meticulously rendered with intricate musculature, pulsates with energy and strength. His massive form is clad in tattered purple shorts, torn asunder by the sheer force of his transformation. His oversized, luminous orange eyes pierce through the canvas, drawing the viewer into his fierce gaze.
Against an abstract backdrop, swaths of color swirl and merge, echoing the tumultuous emotions roiling within the Hulk. Shades of green, purple, and orange dominate the composition, reflecting the essence of the protagonist himself.
At the center of the Hulk’s chest, the words „RawPower“ are emblazoned, serving as a visceral reminder of the boundless strength that courses through his veins. In his unruly mane of hair, the word „Hulk“ is woven seamlessly, further emphasizing his identity.
A careful observer may discern hidden within the intricate patterns of the Hulk’s skin, the subtle presence of the Marvel logo and the name of the original person behind the character, paying homage to the rich history and legacy of this beloved superhero.
In Tom Lohner’s skilled hands, the Incredible Hulk transcends the confines of comic book pages, leaping forth from the canvas with an intensity and vitality that captivates the imagination. This artwork stands as a testament to the enduring power and timeless appeal of one of Marvel’s most iconic creations.

This artwork is a vibrant homage to Adolf Kolping, one of the most influential social reformers of the 19th century. The painting radiates warm orange tones inspired by the colors of the Kolpinghaus in Graz.
The portrait combines hidden symbols and puzzles that illustrate Kolping’s values and life story. Central elements include:
The Cologne Cathedral, referencing Kolping’s hometown.
His role as a journeyman and his apprenticeship as a shoemaker.
The emphasis on family and community.
The Kolpinghaus in Graz as a symbol of his enduring legacy.
Integrated into the work are oversized letters of Kolping’s famous quote: "If we want to become something, we must do it ourselves."
