High values, visionary aesthetics and skilful execution are essential to my work. My concepts combine the contemporary zeitgeist with the
skills of the Old Masters. I capture the honourable essence of a
person for generations to come.
This could lead them to live their best possible version of
themselves.

IN THE ART STUDIO
"I am a second generation artist. I believe in the artistic traditions of the Old Masters AND in the conceptual thinking of our contemporaries."
You could call me an interdisciplinary artist, as I work in different media such as painting, photography, drawing and new media. I have remained true to the theme of my visual research for three decades: Identity, Image and Reputation.
YOU HAVE TO FALL IN LOVE WITH THOSE YOU PORTRAIT. THEN YOU START TO SEE.
- Atlanta Weiss
I believe the power of humanity lies in the ability of each person to make a meaningful impact on their surroundings. Through my portraiture work, I strive to inspire individuals to aspire towards their best selves, thereby contributing to a brighter future for all.
We believe that BEAUTY is a highly undervalued aspect of contemporary art. It is my mission to elevate the importance of beauty in artistic expression, and to showcase its transformative potential.
I recognise that the key to innovation and progress is a deep understanding of the past. A dynamic and impactful future (including NFTs, AI art, and so on) is only possible with appreciation of what has been achieved over the past thousands of years.
In accordance with the Chinese proverb "All under one sky" ("天下一家"), I believe in the power of community. Lifting up my fellow artists elevates the entire art market and benefits the art world as a whole.
OUR APPROACH IS SIMPLY THIS:
Three European cultures have shaped my world view and art perception: The best traditional academic practice from Russia, contemporary conceptual thinking and precision from Germany and appreciation of traditions as well as entrepreneurship from the United Kingdom.
Born into a family of artists and art entrepreneurs, I started early with portrait commissions. After my first solo exhibition at the Deutsche Bank at the age of 21 I knew I found my calling as a portrait artist.
My current art studio is in Cologne (Germany), the geographical heart of Europe. I am grateful for collectors from Europe and beyond.

ATLANTA ELSEWHERE
Having a limited number of commissions per year allows me to invest more time into creating masterpieces.
MASTERPIECE
The artworks are not only a legacy bridging generations. They are a portrait of human history.
LEGACY
Beauty is a powerful force that is not in the eye of the beholder only. Harmony and aesthetics are the very reason our studio exist.
AESTHETICS
OUR CLAN
We have a lot in common, you and I.
We flourish with more responsibility.
We take the lead in shaping the future we hope for our children. Our history is an important part of this journey. Rooted in the past, we seek true value and deeper meaning for our human family and for generations to come. We understand confidentiality and privacy just as well as raising public awareness.
And we call our entire planet HOME.
THERE ARE TWO ELEMENTS I COMBINE IN A PORTRAIT. I CAPTURE THE INNER BEAUTY OF A PERSON AND BRING IT IN HARMONY WITH THEIR VISIBLE SELF.
