Welcome, I'm Douglas Prince, an artist and oil painter. Originally from the U.S., I now live in Germany.
“I have been an artist as long as I can remember. My mother painted when I was young, so it Instilled within me an interest in art. I am fascinated with the central themes of life. In my art I like to explore these with both modern mediums and of course classic ones through landscapes and figures.”
A lifelong artist, Douglas Prince infuses his emblematic works with skill and harmony. As an oil painter, he captures a symphony of nature, wonder, and excitement. Driven by a profound love for his surroundings, and his unique perspective, he aims to ignite in his audience a shared enthusiasm for our world. His vibrant oil paintings burst with life and color, and reverence. His works are windows to a deeper meaning in his subjects. Trees contain relationships between invasive species and beautiful landscapes of medieval villages are a prison where queens were imprisoned for a lifetime.
Russian literary theorist Mikhail Bakhtin (1895–1975) used the mathematics term “chronotope” to describe literature; Doug has borrowed this concept for art. Through his travels, he has realized that creative works are broadly a result of time and place. This inescapable providence influences creators more than is often acknowledged. Bound to this fate, Douglas’s goal is not focused on paths outside of these trappings but to acknowledge and explore them. Combined with principal themes, (sin, work, life, the environment) he explores the world within these contexts.
Recently established in Wiesbaden; not too far from where his great, great Grandfather, Authur Hutschenreuther was a painter at the turn of the last century, Douglas is delighted to share his art with you.

A history of art
I worked in commercial art, illustration and advertising, in Austin Texas before entering the world of digital art / games. In the burgeoning world of games, I started working for Electronic Arts. I worked in multiple disciplines within game art in my years, much of it as an Art Director. My artistic contributions spanned over 30 game titles and VR projects for studios across North and South America and Europe, including undertaking development work for DARPA. I have also taught lectures, written syllabi, and taugh courses in Germany, Chile, and the U.S.A.
