How a Near-Death Experience Transformed a Farmer into a Painter | Vinzenz Hensle

This Thanatos TV interview introduces Vinzenz Hensle, the “painter of the soul.”

In 2011, he suffered severe injuries in an accident at work on his farm and had a near-death experience. This “absolutely real” experience changed Vinzenz Hensle's life forever.

He reports that his NDE enabled him to return to earthly life, but that this came with a special mission: he was to report on the “regions of the afterlife” that await people in the life after death – through pictures.

Vinzenz Hensle, who had never painted before, has since been creating unique, unsaleable works and feels “otherworldly help” in doing so.

In this interview, he talks about the events before, during, and after his accident, the special “energy” he felt, and the creation and content of his paintings.
