Born in 1956 in Innsbruck, Austria, Norbert Pümpel is a visual artist who lives and works in Drosendorf an der Thaya, Austria. His career began with concept art at the end of the 1970s.

  • Ash works on the subject of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
  • Egg tempera, cadmium red, and ashes on canvas
  • Oils, bitumen, and solutions on thin Chinese rice paper
  • The "Condensates" series based on Bose-Einstein condensation
