Helmuth Gräff (born 12 April 1958 in Gars am Kamp) is an Austrian painter, drawer and poet.

[6] In his youth Helmuth Gräff had been drawing thousands of artworks and kept on practising until the age of 20 where he began to study at the Wiener Kunstschule by Fritz Martinz.

[3] As a result of a sports accident and the fracture of three thoracic vertebrae in 1995, Helmuth Gräff suffered from persistent back pain, which increasingly impaired his artistic work.

[5] According to Gräff's own account on his website, in 2018 he attempted suicide with a 30-fold overdose of insulin, which resulted in a stroke.

He did this because of his art collector's withdrawal of a "Richard Wagner Life Cycle" comprising several hundred drawings and oil paintings.
