Artist's Statement

Recreating the beauties of nature, capturing special moments in time, painting experiences, stories and showing the viewer how I see the world through my eyes is something I am really passionate about. Realism is my chosen language and oil paint is my preferred tool.

Biography

Cameron Copley-Heissig is a German-English artist, born on 9th September 2000 in Munich, Germany. From a very early age he was exposed to the arts. With a ballet dancer mother and an opera-choir singer father, he literally grew up in the theatre world. From the ages of 7 to 16 he studied at the Aton-Schule, a reform pedagogical school that focuses on music and creativity. There, he developed his love for art and drawing under his art teacher, Sabine Bitterlich. In later years, he began experimenting with oil paint. In 2017, he was accepted into the Berufsfachschule für Bildende Kunst München (Professional and Continued Education School for the Fine Arts Munich). There, he was taught by the graphic designer and artist, Hubert Franz Schweitzer, the illustrator and comic artist, Gerhard Schlegel, and the illustrator, production and fashion designer, and storyboard artist, Petra Margot Hastreiter. He graduated in 2019 and received a diploma in independent artistic work as an “Independent Artist”. In September 2019 he started studying at the Angel Academy of Art in Florence. His teachers were: Michael John Angel, Jered Woznicki, Giulia Bucciarelli, Davide Barbini, Ashish Kumar Patel and Martinho Isidro Correia. 2021 he got the chance to teach there as a student teacher for one trimester.
