Early life and career

Born in Berlin, Germany, in 1940, Budweg immigrated to Brazil in 1953. He established himself in São Paulo, and he immediately started to demonstrate interest in the Brazilian Indian population. He has traveled many times to the Amazon Forest, as well as the Alto Xingu and the Marajó Island, always to look for inspiration. He has painted a vast collection of Indians portraits. He also won a Jabuti Trophy, one of the most prestigious awards in Brazil, thanks to his work in Lendas Brasileiras (Brazilian Legends), a book dedicated for children.

He became a Brazilian citizen in 1958.

His work was exposed in Brazil, Germany, Italy, United States and Switzerland. Some of his paintings are permanently exposed in the Munch Art-Gallery, in Munich, Germany.
