About the Artist: Heiko Weiner
Heiko started his creative journey in Germany more than 35 years ago. His grandpa was an avid carpenter. As a result, he had the fortune of being taught various traditional European crafts starting at a young age. The artists he learned from at the time were making a living building toys and carving figurines, coloring toys, game sets, household items, and furniture.
Over the years he learned that successful artists are able to master different styles and techniques. After moving to the US from Germany in 1994, he spent the following years between Colorado, West Virginia, Michigan, and Texas. During this time, he kept expanding his visibility by taking on numerous custom projects ranging from furniture to a variety of other, more decorative items for the home.
Over the years, Heiko has succeeded in developing his own, distinctive style. For his three-dimensional work he uses a combination of segmented techniques, and various other materials, such wood, semi-precious stones, metals, and acrylic paints and resins. The resulting style is colorful and ornamental, resembling that of decorative pottery.
His 2D artwork consists of colorful acrylic canvas and wall decors. Various precise techniques are required for either type of work, and each individual piece, regardless of size and complexity, is unique and one of a kind. His art work is shown in fine art shows across the country. Under his registered trademark, Heiko serves customers worldwide. He creates segmented decorative bowls, vases, acrylic wall art, and customized items for clients with an interest in unique and one-of-a-kind décor.
