About me

Studio for painting & commission painting

Do you have a vision or a concept in mind?

As a commissioned artist with over 25 years of experience, I recognize your personal image and desire and realize it in an individual work of art.

Whether for private collections, business premises, or special occasions, I offer you precise advice and accompany you through the entire creative process. Together, we will develop a work of art that perfectly reflects your wishes and ideas.

All possibilities

Old masters & modern works
Traditional & modern techniques
individual framing
High-quality materials
True to scale production
Drafts & sketches

Maximum inspiration & lasting values.

Bright walls, large windows for plenty of natural light, but also targeted artificial lighting are important to support the creative atmosphere. There are spaces for different work processes - such as a corner for sketches and designs, one for larger works and one for storing materials.

A creative process is never linear, and my studio is a flexible space that leaves room for change and chaos . Everything is allowed here: artificial disorder, colors that merge wildly with each other, and materials that fill and inspire the space.

My studio is a place that goes far beyond just working, but is also a source of inspiration and creative growth.

Using the photos I sent him, he created a charming sketch of my daughter with her two cats and then turned it into a painting. The surprise and the incredible joy in my daughter’s eyes when she saw the painting say it all. Many thanks to Nikolaus Kriese from Claudia in Berlin

He has done an excellent job. Really very successful. The creation was certainly very intensive and time-consuming. We really appreciate the precise and good work. A clear recommendation for working with the artist Nikolaus Kriese.

It is a wonderful, happy window into our past and you have helped us to open it again. Thank you very much!

It was beautiful and despite the bad pictures I unfortunately had available for Mr. Kriese, he had made the best of it, as if he knew this person. This man knows what he is doing and has real talent. Simply beautiful. Thank you very much Mr. Kriese!

 Trustindex checks whether the original source of the rating is Google. I’ve already purchased several paintings from Nikolaus. He’s an incredibly talented artist who knows how to cater to his clients. In addition to his extensive range of commissioned paintings, he also creates his own art, which is definitely worth checking out. The pieces are often large and fit perfectly in offices or living rooms! I’m extremely satisfied with the paintings and absolutely love looking at them. I can wholeheartedly recommend Nikolaus as both a service provider and an artist!!! Best regards, Patrick

 Trustindex checks whether the original source of the rating is Google. Without knowing Mr. Kriese, only on the basis of his website and a lengthy telephone conversation, we commissioned Mr. Kriese to produce a large painting for us based on a template. The result really lived up to our expectations. The cooperation was very reliable, friendly, finished on time, with a great framing that we had agreed on beforehand and delivered safely by a forwarding agent. We would hire Mr. Kriese again at any time and can definitely recommend him to others.
