the green top Painting

Sketching & painting during my childhood, my imaginations were like a full-color film, happily inspired when I got a pen or brush in my hand, just to work out my thoughts with my own hands since I can remember. Take away the gray to paint how I like it, every day! For me, life in the 70s, when we were in an analog world without digital gadgets, was easy to look for confidence and happiness. Art became a real challenge to express my thoughts, to visualize my ideas. After attending regular school, graduating from the University of the Arts in Hamburg, back in the '90s, I have been working as a freelance illustrator for more than 30 years until today, and I am still passionate about it! I have worked for advertising, book publishers, and filmmakers. To make a living, I deal with creating and sketching all the time: animatics, sketches, layouts, storyboards, and illustrations. I love to make ideas visible. If you let me do - I can help you, too, to bring your thoughts to the surface! Fortunately, I find time to plan and create more oil paintings. I can tell with heart and soul: this is my true vocation! My heartbeats are painting my soul on canvas, to bring you joy, happiness, and satisfaction! Art is my religion. With heart and paint, your Frank Schlief
