After graduating, he studied zoology at the University of Königsberg. Frieling was particularly interested in ornithology.

During the Second World War, he was a teacher at the Marquartstein boarding school and remained there afterward. This period was interrupted by Frieling's military service.

After the war, he turned his attention to the study of color.

In 1948, he founded the "Institute for Color Psychology" in Marquartstein, where he advised companies and businesses. Later, he added premises in Salzburg, where training courses for color consultants were held.

In 1957, he became the founding president of the "International Association of Color Consultants."

from the 1950s onward, he created his own abstract paintings, which Frieling began exhibiting publicly in 1963. His abstract works are characterized by a unique expression that demonstrates his profound knowledge of color effects and the interplay of colors.
