About
Artist's statement
"Not a single word is necessary"
A glance, a touch, the slightest movement—every gesture speaks.
We communicate constantly, without even realizing it. Across cultures, beyond language, the most powerful messages are felt, not spoken.
Emotion is the purest form of truth. It cannot be translated, only understood. A forced smile may deceive, but the face—when truly seen—is an open book.
You just have to read it at the right moment.
In my art, I capture these fleeting instants of raw emotion—those rare, unguarded moments where the soul reveals itself.
My paintings don’t just tell a story; they invite you to listen—without a single word."
Biography
Independent artist at the age of 21
At 20, Bastian Fiala experienced a major turning point when he lost his job. Instead of feeling defeated, he saw this as a chance to pursue his passion for art. Always interested in creating, he decided to take the leap and follow his dream of becoming an artist. By the age of 22, Bastian had already made a name for himself in the art world. What seemed like a setback—losing his job—actually became the push he needed to start an exciting creative journey. The simple drawings he once kept to himself were now transformed into large, expressive portraits. His first exhibition in his hometown was a success, with over 20 pieces selling, and he was warmly welcomed by the local art community.
But Bastian didn't just want to follow the usual path for artists. He came up with a new way to share his work: a pop-up gallery that appears in different cities for a short time. Each exhibition is a special event, attracting both art lovers and critics. His artwork has already been displayed in prestigious collections in cities like Berlin, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Zurich, and Johannesburg.
Born in 1998, Bastian lives and works in the Black Forest near Offenburg. With strong determination and a unique artistic style, he's quickly made a mark in the art world. His journey shows that with hard work and a clear vision, it's possible to achieve incredible success, even at a young age.
