Steve Heimann

I’ve always been drawn to geometry—the way shapes, colors, and space can come together to create something that feels both structured and expressive. My process is what I call seek and find—a kind of visual exploration where I search for the right balance of form, color, and meaning until a composition reveals itself.

My work is inspired by artists like Josef Albers, Sol LeWitt, Robert Motherwell, Robert Mangold, and Henri Matisse—each of whom showed how simplicity can hold great depth. I often start my ideas digitally, experimenting with composition and color, then bring them to life using digital tools or traditional materials like watercolor, gouache, or acrylic.

I studied at Parsons School of Design and the Art Students League in New York City, and later taught advertising illustration at Pratt Institute. Today, I live and work in my home state of New Jersey, continuing to explore how geometry, color, and emotion intersect to create quiet moments of discovery.

Heimann studied at both the Parsons School of Design and the Art Students League in New York City. He also taught at Pratt Institute, Manhattan, and lectured at Kean University in Union, New Jersey.
