Hückeswagen in balloon fever: the art of Frank Jeschke and Hakan Eren!

In the Bergisches Land, more precisely in Hückeswagen, the fascinating world of balloon artists unfolds. Frank Jeschke, a renowned balloon decorator, has set itself the task of arousing emotions with his works of art. It offers a wide range of balloons - from colorful motif balloons to individual designs that are suitable for every occasion. "I don't sell balloons, I sell the associated emotions," explains Jeschke, who started his career as a "Twister" in the children's theater and since his craft has permanently perfected. His career picked up speed when he met a colleague from England in 2006/2007, who brought him closer to the connection between decoration and twisting.

Jeschke's commitment has catapulted him into the global balloon art scene. He can show an impressive balance: In 2019, he took first place in Slovenia in the "PhotoFrame" category and was awarded second place in the "Big Sculpture" category in San Diego, USA in 2018. His international competitions and new friendships within the creative network are driving him up to pass on his knowledge.

The development of young talents

Another talented balloon artist, Hakan Eren, also works in the region. Eren, who has been working at the music and art school in Remscheid since 2016, discovered his passion for balloon art during a clown workshop. Since then he has continued to develop, thanks to the support of Jeschke and his own ambitious projects. During the Corona pandemic, Eren used the time to significantly improve his skills.

Eren has now developed its own style and is characterized by his artistic demands. He presents his work on his website and offers individual figures according to customer requirements. Eren can be booked almost for every kind of celebration, be it a wedding or a district festival. In addition, he realized large projects, such as a four -meter high federal eagle for the Bundeskunsthalle, which had to be picked up with a crane.

international perspectives and appearances

For the future, Eren has forged plans to further develop his balloon art. He wants to bring his characters to life in videos and even received initial inquiries for appearances from abroad. A television appearance and participation in a “Balloon Jam” in Orlando, USA, are already in prospect.

The art of Frank Jeschke and Hakan Eren illustrates the versatile possibilities that Balloons offer as an artistic medium. While Jeschke shines in competition and decoration, Eren conquers the hearts of many with his individual and creative approaches.

In a world that is often shaped by the hustle and bustle of everyday life, these balloon artists not only invite you to be happy, but also manage to create moments of lightness - a colorful oasis of creativity in the Bergisches Land.
