 Hans Weiss has been drawing and painting all of his life.  As a young boy living in a German village, Malthern, (Zips), in Slovakia, he showed a great talent in art. At the age of thirteen he was granted a commission for the first time. Because of the Second World War, all of his early paintings and drawings were lost, due to the Communist occupation. He and his family were sent to live in Germany. Hans started to paint again, using brushes hade from his mothers hair. At the age of eighteen, Hans came to the United States where he attended various Art schools in Connecticut, and the Art Students League in New York. Many of his paintings are a reflection of his travel experiences, such as Alaska, Europe, Egypt, India, Mexico, many other interesting places and of his early childhood. His favorite subjects are his small village in Slovakia, The Native Americans, still life, land & seascapes. Hans has had many exhibitions in North America and Europe, and has won many prizes for his artwork. His work can be found in museums, books and many State and Federal buildings and in many private collections.
