One can dream

Stacks on Stacks is a fictive book fair taking place in Arnhem. The poster made for the fair is built on a grid of 500 book spines and a title in motion moving through the grid. The movement creates an illusion as if the title is fading out, somehow also mimicking the old analogue billboards rolling posters up and down.

My spanish grandmother is the most beautiful princess when she’s dreaming in her bed.

a spectrum describes the distribution of colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple) produced when white light is dispersed by a prism or diffraction grating – also it is the range between two extreme points.
In this series I show which colors can be found in a color spectrum defined by me and how many variations there are within each color. The photos are taken from my archive.

Es galt ein Key Visual für die Jüdische Woche 2021 in Leipzig unter der Berücksichtigung der bestehenden Wortmarke »Shalom« zu entwickeln. Das diesjährige Thema »1700 Jahre jüdisches Leben in Deutschland« gab uns den Anlass die typografische Entwicklung des hebräischen Buchstaben »Lamed« (enthalten in »Shalom«) zu betrachten. Wir setzten dem »Lamed« der Wortmarke eine hebräische Sans Serif entgegen und ließen diese grafisch ineinander übergehen – einen Wandel der einen zur anderen Schriftgeneration vollziehen.

My current drawing project “Z!?” deals with the present condition of cultured forests in northern Germany influenced by increasing carbon pollution. Many perceive these artificially grown forests as the norm and few places remain wild. Since it is harder to connect with cultured forests, humans’ connection with German forests decreases. While looking at nature, the forest is viewed solely as a natural resource to be harvested as a commodity.
As an artist, my work revolves around this ambivalent relationship and the alienation process between humans and nature. Through my drawings, I address existing problems in terms of natural politics and build moments of connection.

During one of the lockdowns I created these colour gradients. They remind me of the surface of a balloon or similar structure, flexible but fragile, and here on the edge of bursting through a delicate spike. A tense situation, not unlike the current global circumstances, affecting my perception and mind, and what I end up creating.

Dispersion means: “The separation of light into different colours”, but also “the spreading of people or things over a wide area”.
The form itself seems to suck everything into it but when light comes into play the form disperses the colours of the spectrum almost like an explosion.

With all these magnificent and beautiful colors this world has to offer, it is important to sometimes take a step back and embrace the more specific. Six colors can be enough to deliver the message of diversity, pride and freedom.

This poster advocates for funding of the arts. The quote, logic will get you from a to b, imagination will take you everywhere, is featured. The yellow line draws inspiration from the quote and the yellow color is a reference to the yellow brick road that leads to possibilities.

I’m always interested how a graphic designer can act as a mirror for reality. I must admit, I might be one of these crazy mirrors found at a carnival.

in colors we trust

Diversity in any sense is the only way to get a decent outcome. Life is color.

Dynamic typographic poster based on a typeface I made and in which I played with the layout on the definition of the « couleur »

Exploring the process of how hope and dream can coexist, connect and become reality through experimental typography.

Blood is the most precious gift that anyone can give to another person — the gift of life. A decision to donate your blood can save a life, or even several

I was inspired by the song text “Mein Name ist Mensch” from the German punk band “Ton Steine Scherben” for these artworks. No matter what color, human is human

The spectrum of visible colors in maximum saturation give the best opportunity to experience the quality of the color-as-it-is. using a geometric approach and slightly adjusting brightness, each work uses colored squares to experiment on different visual effects. The main scope of this series of prints is a playful and abstract approach on the topics of diversity and integration.

In the absence of colour this happy vase finds its fulfillment. She enjoys the colourful life around her by fully embracing her own emptiness. Because she knows that where there‘s a void, there is potential for change — for life to happen.

I arranged all the names of colours together to show how they can all work together.
