Filipp Jenikäe is a German artist based between Münster and Paris. Though raised in a family of art enthusiasts, he took the long route, studying law, political science, and business before trading courts and classrooms for canvases. His passion for painting manifested in Berlin, where energy and chaos became his teachers. Working primarily in acrylic, Jenikäe captures the pulse of contemporary life: from athletes and musicians to nightclubs, bars, and backyards. His work draws on influences like Henry Taylor, Nina Chanel Abney, and Hockney, blending social commentary with a bold, graphic sensibility. Now represented internationally and auctioned at Sotheby’s, Christie’s, and Phillips, Jenikäe’s art celebrates the rhythm, humor, and contradictions of modern culture.
