Guido Frick received his art education in Europe as well as in the United States. After years of study in the early 70’s with Professor Karel Hodr, one of Europe’s most important impressionists, Guido joined the Bongart School of Art in California and Idaho.
His work receives increasing appreciation and demand because of the freshness and spontaneity of his paintings, which are identified by his bold, vigorous and brilliant brushwork and color harmonies. His American and European training adds to his work a melange of special and exciting qualities.
Guido strictly believes that only nature should be the studio of impressionists. Consequently, his landscape subjects and florals are painted outdoors.
About the painting process, Guido points out, "If you don’t let your feelings come out while painting, nothing will happen on the canvas. The painting should mirror your personality. Be yourself, then your paintings get soul, heart and power."
In essence, he considers his creative work as a permanent dialogue with nature. "It was Sergei Bongart, who opened my eyes and heart to get into this kind of dialogue."
Guido does not care too much about classification. "I am an artist who always crosses the borderline between impressionism and expressionism. My emotions don’t like to be forced or stressed into these closed-minded labels. I just try to express myself and to bring impressions alive in a pleasant way."
