"The American West is, and there is not the slightest doubt about it, my biggest inspiration," says Frick. From 2006 to Presence, Frick has explored 110,000 miles of the West from El Paso, Texas to Cheyenne, Wyo. and everywhere in between. "I am a great fan of Western history...especially...the American Indians," says Frick. "There is no battleground I have not visited, no Indian reservation I haven't seen, and to my friends,
I sometimes say: Wherever an Indian arrow has landed, I have seen the spot."
Mentored by Sergei Bongart, Frick saw the master six days before he died in 1985."I never saw or met anyone who could replace him...his last words (to me): 'Keep painting, you are very talented,' are my greatest treasure." With Frick's lush landscapes with vivid colors and passionate brushstrokes, it's easy to agree with Bongart.

Originally working as a sports Journalist, landscape painter Guido Frick began his art career like painter Frida Kahlo (1907-1954). After a vehicle accident in his 20s, Frick was bedridden from hip and leg injuries. "l remembered how much I liked to draw and paint in high school," says Frick. "I suddenly knew I had found something that would put sense into the two recovering years. I started to paint like crazy."
Enrolling in an art academy in Constance, his home-town in southern Germany, Frick decided on landscapes for his subject matter, and became "absolutely dedicated to painting outdoors." Now living in Germany Frick conducts Workshops for Student painters while he explores the land .
