Filipp Jenikäe (b. 1987) is a German painter known for his vibrant, large-scale acrylic works that document the pulse of contemporary life. Raised in a family of art educators, Jenikäe initially pursued a different path, studying Law and Political Science at UAB Barcelona and Business Administration in the Netherlands. His artistic practice emerged later in life, crystallizing in Berlin around 2017 following the conclusion of his athletic career in basketball.

Jenikäe’s work is characterized by a "sampling" aesthetic, a method he compares to DJing, where visual fragments from urban landscapes, pop culture, and sports history are remixed into cohesive, neo-expressionist compositions. His canvases often depict the communal euphoria of social spaces: nightclubs, bars, and city backyards, alongside portraits of cultural icons ranging from athletes to musicians.

Influenced by the bold coloration of David Hockney and the narrative figuration of Henry Taylor and Nina Chanel Abney, Jenikäe’s work bridges the gap between the immediacy of street culture and the tradition of genre painting. His works have been exhibited internationally, with representation in Paris, Hong Kong, and the United States, and have been featured at major auction houses including Sotheby’s and Phillips.
