​Swiss/French award-winning artist and martial artist Fabian Fröhly (aka Mr. Pinkbrush) is a contemporary pop artist who blends cartoons, street art, 90s video games, and superhero icons into his vibrant paintings.

​

Remaining true to his roots in street art, comic books, and martial arts, Mr. Pinkbrush draws inspiration from his childhood and teenage years in the 90s, which were shaped by cartoons like Looney Tunes, Walt Disney classics, The Simpsons, Dragon Ball Z, Pokemon, and superheroes from Marvel and DC Comics such as Batman, Spider-Man, and Superman. His work also reflects the influence of video games like Capcom’s Street Fighter and his personal journey as a professional martial artist. Stylistic elements from his contemporaries are woven throughout his work, as he tells fun stories that often carry deeper meaning.

​

Internationally recognized for his dynamic animation sketch techniques in cartoon pop art, Mr. Pinkbrush turns personal, social, and political themes into striking, colorful, and powerful artworks. Utilizing a broad repertoire of techniques, he blends traditional and modern painting styles, drawing inspiration from masters like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Damien Hirst, Takashi Murakami, Gerhard Richter, Leonardo da Vinci, and Michelangelo, as well as contemporary artists from Warner Bros. and Walt Disney.

​

Mr. Pinkbrush works with a range of materials including charcoal, acrylic, oil, pastel chalk, spray cans, and pigments on canvas. His vibrant characters, both abstract and realistic, come to life with bold energy. Facial expressions and eyes in his pieces reveal the soul of his work, while compositions feature sketched or painted figures, often with varied expressions, alongside colorful areas and written elements like quotes or inscriptions. His style combines spontaneity and serenity, blending abstract and realistic techniques.

At first glance, his work may seem humorous and chaotic, but upon closer inspection, it reveals a harmonious balance, often utilizing principles like the golden ratio. Mr. Pinkbrush aims for his art to emotionally move the viewer, offering positive, energetic feelings, even when addressing critical social or political issues.

Mr. Pinkbrush’s work is exhibited in galleries worldwide and has been acquired by prominent collectors such as the Swiss billionaire Doetsch Grether family, owners of one of the world’s most significant private art collections, billionaire Carlos Slim’s family, founders of the Soumaya Museum in Mexico, Pascal Mouawad of Mouawad jewelry and watches, Le Cercle Beirut, and others.
