2025 in Review
— and what lies ahead in 2026
2025 was a year full of new experiences, special encounters, and significant milestones for Heinz Atelier. Looking back at the past months today, we realize how much has developed – artistically, personally, and internationally.
A Year Full of New Experiences
The 2025 exhibition in South Korea will remain in our memories for a long time. Our works were presented at Blooming Art at the Kim Boseong Art Center in Seoul and at the Haegeumgang Theme Museum in Geoje.
For us, exhibitions are much more than a way to display art. They bring people together, spark conversations, and show that art can be understood regardless of language. It was special to experience how visitors perceived our works and shared their own thoughts on them.
The year also brought pleasant surprises. We were honored to receive awards for our work. Of course, we were very delighted about that.
Over 200 artworks found new homes in 2025. Each individual decision signifies trust for us, and that fills us with great gratitude. One project will remain particularly memorable: more than ten paintings measuring 100 × 130 cm were created for a collector over several months.
Of course, there were also works that we found difficult to part with. The Mozart painting, the elephant painting, and the Porsche painting are among them. At the same time, it is a good feeling to know that they have found a special place with their new owners today.
Heinz Atelier itself has also continued to evolve. A new logo has accompanied our atelier outwardly since this year, and our product range has grown. In addition to new original paintings, other handmade products were created to complement our creative work.
We are particularly grateful for the people we had the pleasure of meeting in 2025. Some encounters have developed into true friendships – especially with the museum team in South Korea. Our sincere thanks go to Ms. Fosli and Ms. Bleichert for their support and trust.
When we look back at the year today, we don't first think of exhibitions or awards. We think of the many people we met, new experiences, and the trust placed in us. That's exactly what makes 2025 a very special year for us.
Our Personal Highlight
In 2025, Gulnara Heinz participated in an international exhibition for the first time. As a trained porcelain painter and artist, she has brought her love for nature, plants, and animals into her works for many years. With her painting “Connection", she ventured onto the international stage.
“Connection" — Gulnara Heinz
A woman and a horse in the midst of a summer wheat field, surrounded by goldfinches and wildflowers. A narrative of trust, tranquility, and the special connection between humans and animals.
The fact that this painting received the Best Artist Award at her first international exhibition was a very special moment for us.
What Lies Ahead in 2026
We intend to consistently continue our path in 2026 as well.
Another exhibition in South Korea is planned. At the same time, numerous new original paintings and new projects are being created within our atelier.
- Daniel will increasingly dedicate himself to landscape painting in the future. Memories of the Allgäu, of mountains, forests, and vast landscapes still accompany him today and are increasingly flowing into his new works.
- Gulnara Heinz is expanding her handmade collection with additional hand-painted car models and natural stones. Each piece is created with great patience and attention to detail.
We look forward to implementing new ideas, creating new works, and continuously developing our atelier step by step.
A Look Forward
We don't know exactly where the coming years will lead us.
But what we do know is why we make art.
Not to create as many pictures as possible, but to create works that touch people and stay with them for a long time.
Every year brings new experiences, new challenges, and new ideas. That's what makes this path so exciting for us.
We look forward to everything 2026 has in store – and extend our sincere thanks to everyone who accompanies Heinz Atelier on this journey.
