His course in life fits that of an artist. School leaving certificate thanks to art class, the Glockenbachviertel in Munich instead of university and self-sufficiency before military service. Bernhard Ludwig Rieger’s life is as intuitive as his brush strokes, which he has been putting to paper since early childhood. Because even as a four-year-old, the native of Wallgau used to hide under the kitchen table with a brush in his hand and fixed ideas in his head. "At some point, I disassembled my Lego Technic vehicles and built disco lights out of the drives and gears.” And even though this project nearly finished him (his pincers hit the power circuit), he never lost the inclination to try everything out. "I am never bored and, to this very day, have never left a creative desire go unfulfilled."

His work bears testimony to this, ranging from alpine pop art paintings to interior design plans to unique wooden pieces to fresco painting. One man, one style - and a realised goal:
"My desire as an artist has always been to create art that appeals to people of all social classes and enriches both an alpine chalet in Kitzbühel and an urban apartment decorated in a mix of Ikea styles." An Octoberfest invitation brought a lot of brightness in this regard, as well as light into the darkness. Because wearing the nostalgic Luis Trenker clothing he went off to the beer tent for some selfies with the visitors. In focus? His felt-rimmed heart made of reclaimed wood, brought along as a thoughtful gingerbread souvenir. A greeting from home that can reach everyone and can therefore stay. And, of course, Bernhard's underlying urge for further development. And so the alpine cult square came about, the decorative wall pendant that also plays on other forms and relies on detail.
