Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on July 18, 1955)

Happy Birthday, Bernd! Another year older and still sculpting masterpieces—clearly age is just another medium you handle brilliantly. From transforming the 800-year-old St. Stephan’s Cathedral into your iconic Westwerk project to captivating Vienna with every brushstroke, you've proven that creativity truly has no expiration date.

May this birthday be as timelessly inspiring as your art—and may it involve fewer scaffolds than working in a cathedral tower! Here's wishing you endless inspiration (and perhaps some cake-induced visions) for many more years of groundbreaking creations ahead. Keep painting life vibrant; after all, you're not getting older—you’re becoming classic!
