About Me
Every project is an opportunity to explore new techniques and push my creative boundaries.
“ I’m a 33-year-old miniature painter from Costa Rica, and I’ve been immersed in this amazing hobby for the past four years. What started as simple curiosity quickly turned into a deep passion. There’s something incredible about bringing miniatures to life with color, light, and texture—it’s both an art and a challenge that keeps me constantly learning and improving. ”
Artistic Vision
Building a strong and supportive community is essential for fostering talent and innovation in the miniature painting world.
“ I believe the miniature painting community in Costa Rica has so much potential, and I want to be part of its growth. This hobby isn’t just about painting figures; it’s about creativity, storytelling, and sharing ideas with others. I’m excited to help create more spaces where painters—new and experienced—can connect, learn, and push their skills further. ”
Thoughts on Golden Maple Brushes
Having reliable brushes allows me to focus on the creative aspect of painting rather than struggling with materials, and that has truly elevated my work.
“ When it comes to drybrushing, Golden Maple brushes have completely changed my game. I’ve tried countless brushes before, but none really clicked with me—until I found these. They give me the control, texture, and results I always wanted, making my painting process so much more enjoyable. Sometimes, the right tool makes all the difference! Having reliable brushes allows me to focus on the creative aspect of painting rather than struggling with materials, and that has truly elevated my work.”
Beyond being an artist, Frank has taken his passion one step further by starting his own business—including selling Golden Maple brushes. Finding the right tools made such a difference in his work that he wanted to share them with other artists who are equally passionate. If you’re an artist looking to turn your creativity into a business, Golden Maple encourage you to take that step.
