Maximilian Otte's is an austrian painter. His main subject is Madonna - icon of pop and media culture, cult figure and intangible myth of today's youth culture. As the name "Madonna" is associated with the Christian chastity ideal, it is about the image in a conspicuous ambivalence of physical sensuality and inviolability. Each painting invents its own story, narrated with fine poetry and a strong sense for those little things that make the vision come alive.
