ABOUT FLORIAN VON HEISSEN

Florian von Heißen is a self-taught German artist based in Frankfurt, Germany. As a passionate basketball fan, Florian von Heißen has always sought to connect sports and art. His goal is to capture historic moments in the world of sports in unique forms and make them timeless for collectors worldwide.

As a mixed media artist, he works with acrylic paints, markers, and spray paint. His style is characterized by contrasts. Painterly depth meets sketchy lightness. Realistic elaborations are dissolved in rough street art elements. The classical idea of painting - to preserve the contemporary - is transferred to the modern world of sports and its leading figures. This combination gives his works a special vibrancy and expressiveness. His style creates images that are both detailed and energetic. By integrating original newspaper articles from those moments, he adds an extra layer of historical depth—each painting becomes a visual journey through the golden age of sports.
