The Hunziker name has been associated with the arts for generations, and automotive painter and designer Nicolas Hunziker is proud to carry on the family tradition of creative excellence. He derives his eye for detail from his great-grandfather and grandfather, both of whom were classically trained painters. It also doesn't hurt that his grand uncle was the motor-racing Prince Bira of Siam, so Hunziker is no stranger to the history, adrenaline and petrol fumes of the sport. A race-licensed driver in his own right, Nicolas enjoys campaigning his single-seater 1969 Lotus 51C in historic events. Trained at Pasadena’s Art Center College of Design, he believes in keeping his work simple and bold, emphasizing the energy of his subjects. Hunziker incorporates many Art Deco advertising elements into his painting, and he calls his style “Period Correct.” His focus lies in vintage racing and his acrylic on canvas original paintings have been reprinted on everything from greeting cards and T-shirts to shoes and limited-edition signed prints. Hunziker can create any piece by commission, and no piece is too small or big, a fact attested to by the 50-ft murals he has created for various patrons. Hunziker's official licensing partners include: Porsche AG, McLaren Automotive, James Hunt Racing, Gulf Racing, Le Mans, Vic Elford and the Steve McQueen estate, among others.
