My art comes from an urge to explore. I like the countryside. I like a good view. And once I’m face to face with a lovely scenery, I feel immediately tempted to find out what it’s concealing. The dark goings-on behind the façade of nature, you might say, or the hidden machinations of the animal kingdom.
To imagine and express this, I usually tap the lines linking religious icon art, renaissance painting and comic culture. I am particularly thrilled by the kind of spiritual terror you find expressed in the paintings of the old Flemish masters, and I’m trying to find out what happens when you apply that mood to the serene and harmless world of rural folk art.
I am based in Hamburg, Germany, but my stuff has also been shown in such diverse places as Estonia, New York, Paris, Saint Petersburg, Los Angeles, Seattle and Chicago. When not busy with art or media work, I can usually be found painting pictures with my sons.

When art effects you in some way it is a successful art... either if it provokes feelings like love, anger or makes you feel someway. That's my opinion on art at least. Heiko's art influences me in many different ways, but most of all it makes me interested and inspire me in being creative and go out there and do some crazy things... something that is pretty rare these days. That's my favorite kind of feeling art provokes. That's what makes me a fan of Heiko's work!

When I come to visit Mr. PXP stream I would like to fav and comment it ALL, every single work!!!!! He is extraordinary talented and his art is addictive! His researches on the Flemish masters, and the spiritual terror are so incredibly well expressed in his pieces, he has a gift in re-elaborate his inspirations in a way that's totally explicit, yet all but literal, wich is a very rare ability!
