At 14 Erich Kissing's talent for painting was discovered and he had since taken private drawing classes to enhance his abilities. After training to professionally retouch offset-prints he turned to study art in his hometown Leipzig from 1965 till 1970. During his studies at Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst under the hands of his teachers Hans Mayer-Foreyt and Werner Tübke he became a painter (Feinmalerei). His modern art is part of the Realist Leipzig School. ^{[citation needed]}

The characteristic style of his paintings results from his high-precision glazing technique which consists of several layers to completing a painting he works on it for months on end. His themes are romantic and mystical sometimes bizarre but his style remains invariantly realistic. One of his memorable motifs is the recurring hedonistic centaur.

"Sommertag" picture link (2007–09) is the present high point of his art. It captivates the observer via Kissing's characteristic objectivity, its large format and its reference to Diego Velázquez "The Triumph of Bacchus" [2] ("Los Borrachos", 1628–29).
