Annadorfmann
Hans Louis Annadorfmann is an experienced visual artist from Karlovy Vary, focusing on 3D creation and contemporary modern art. His signature technique involves carving shapes from polyester, with a strong thematic emphasis on skulls and deeper psychological reflection.
His journey in art began in childhood, with a still life piece he created as a teenager. Throughout his life, he worked in various professions, but the most formative experience came during his time working for the Vatican as a sculptor and restorer. It was there that he truly grasped the power of symbolism and emotional depth in artistic expression.
Annadorfmann sees art as a medium for processing and expressing disagreement with what we perceive around us. He challenges conventional interpretations—like the idea that skulls represent death. Instead, he presents them as vessels of joy, emotion, and life itself. His current collection explores different moods and states of mind, aiming not only to provoke thought but to act as a therapeutic response to depression and existential weight.
In addition to his creative practice, Hans has a deep interest in art history and enjoys discussing the meaning and legacy of great works of art. He is currently preparing a series of exhibitions to showcase his latest collection.

This piece is a dark comedy. A man lies in his coffin, smiling smugly. Around him stand furious relatives, not mourning—just disappointed. Why? Because he left nothing. No...
What could stop us? Maybe nothing. Because to live fully… is the craziest thing of all.
The golden crown symbolizes dignity not earned through power, but through empathy. The King is not a person—he is the soul of the city.
Symbol of temptation - something that appears alluring, humorous, even irresistible - but is ultimately deceptive and dangerous.
Inner voices and thoughts that constantly whisper to us. Each shadow represents a single thought.
This piece is a personal reflection on the invisible inner struggle, a visual diary of a mind seeking peace amidst mental chaos.
