Andreas Preis is a designer, illustrator, and muralist based in Berlin, whose recognisable style is rooted in comics and early-2000s street art.His practice spans illustration, murals, live painting, and graphic design work such as typography, branding, and packaging, much of it built around animal subjects rendered in sharp, colourful patterning.,
Preis painted his first mural, Berlin Lion, on a surviving section of the Berlin Wall at YAAM, a longtime waterfront meeting point for Berlin's music and art scenes.He later painted a mural for the temporary art space THE HAUS, a former bank building filled with work by more than 150 artists before it closed and was demolished in 2017.For URBAN NATION's Museum for Contemporary Art in Berlin, he repainted a discarded original Buddy Bear statue, one of the city's Berlin Bear figurines, in his own style to stand at the museum's entrance.
His clients have included Adidas, Adobe, Coca-Cola, DC Comics, the European Central Bank, ESPN, Ford, Google, Hennessy, Microsoft, Nike, PlayStation, Samsung, and Sony.For the European Central Bank he painted two murals inside the Eurotower in Frankfurt, a chameleon in the fitness area and a butterfly at the ground-floor entrance, after first working with the bank's art department for the Luminale light festival.For Warsteiner's Art Collection he designed two beer glasses, themed “Ingredients” and “True Togetherness”, distributed across Europe, Asia, Australia, and the United States.
