Life

Childhood

Paul Riedel was born in the Aclimacao district of Sao Paulo. Born as an illegitimate child, he grew up in an Afro-Brazilian family until 1969.

After that he was able to be integrated into his German-Italian family.

At the age of ten he became aware of his sexual identity. In the Jesuit monastery school he was confronted with the dogmas of the Catholic Church on the subject of LGBT-orientation. This experience is often the subject of his novels.

Teenie-Time

Not least because of his homosexuality, he had to part with his family at an early age. He therefore worked at the age of fifteen in the Telecommunications Ministry of Sao Paulo (TELESP) from 1976 until 1984.

Political engagement

Since 1977 he has campaigned for the recognition of homosexuals. Paul Riedel often took part in demonstrations in the city of Sao Paulo.

He was at the first demonstration in 1978 against the future president of Brazil, Lula Inacio da Silva. In Germany he continued his activities and was an active member of the FDP and Die Grünen in Munich.

He led the Pro-Isar protest action to avoid garbage on the banks of the Isar in Munich by 2020.

Üarty member from FDP in Bavaria for two years and Die Grünen for one year.

IT Career

The Ministry of Telecommunications supports him in his aspired career in information technology.

In 1984 he was recruited in Brazil by the partner company Ferrostal to work at MTU in Munich. Ferrostal placed him on the basis of his lecture on the subject of machine service life and maintenance processes.

He continued his work on translation and adaptation of German technology in Brazil at MTU-Munich for four years.

He then worked at BMW in Munich and founded his own IT company, which he managed as managing director until 2010.

His career has taken him to New York, Boston, Hong Kong and many other metropolises around the world.

He ended his career in IT in 2010 to devote himself to his art.

Artistical Career

In parallel to his IT work, he has been working as an artist since 1978. His best-known works include portraits of Broadway stars such as Julie Wilson, painted in his New York studio. The Big Spender Gala exhibited three pictures from this series in 1998.

He currently works as a freelance artist and author and is committed to environmental and LGBT issues.

Riedel is the author of various psychodramas and currently lives in Munich.
