Rudolf Raimund Ballabene was born in Zurndorf in Burgenland in 1890. He came from a Prague patrician family and was the youngest son of ten siblings. Ballabene studied German and philosophy in Prague from 1909 because his father forbade him to study painting. He dedicated himself to journalism and acting, and from 1913 he was part of the ensemble of the Königlich Deutsches Landestheater (Royal German State Theater) in Prague. After the end of the First World War, he devoted himself entirely to painting and concentrated on landscapes and floral still lifes. During the Second World War, Ballabene's artistic career came to a halt, in 1941 all of his pictures were confiscated and in 1943 he was banned from working. In 1945 he came to Vienna and was able to make a living from his painting despite the difficult economic situation. He received support from the Burgenland state government through occasional orders and purchases. The 1950s were a high point in his work; after the mid-1960s he increasingly turned to abstraction. His landscapes and figural scenes are particularly expressive and dynamic. Various exhibitions followed: 1958 Austrian State Printing Office, Vienna, Austrian Reading Hall in Zagreb, 1959 Gurlitt Gallery, Munich, 1960 National Arts Club, New York, 1991 Landesgalerie Eisenstadt. The years up to his death in 1968 were rich in creativity and produced mature and powerful pictures that show the painter's visionary, hallucinatory power. Today, Ballabene is considered one of the most famous artists of Burgenland, who has achieved his own mastery in depicting movement.
