Poster for the new season 20/21 of theater Points Communs. Luck and new hopes will find you at the end of the rainbow.

A scenic landscape shaped by nature, taken apart and rearranged.

The work TIMELINE commissioned for the exhibition Fiume Fantastika: Phenomena of the City presents a turbulent history of the city of Rijeka. From 1868 to the present day, Rijeka has been part of nine different states. Fifty illustrations deconstructed the rules, values and aesthetics inscribed in the most symbolic form of the society – 17 historic city and government flags. The front displays information on architecture, infrastructure, politics, economy and culture that shaped the city for the past 120 years. The illustrative back used the original color codes to suggest that we should not take the past literally, but analyse it, re-imagine and inscribe with new meaning.

How artificial has our world become? Is there still room for our desire for nature and originality? Are houseplants an expression of the desire to return?
How much care and attention do they need by being taken out of their “natural” habitat? Is it possible to bear this responsibility? In our living world, we create sterile germ-free spaces in bright colours. It is too clean. Mud and dirt have no place here, only the beautiful bright colours. But can living beings survive in the artificial worlds we have created? Or do they long too much for jungle, mud and nature?

Can we rethink our construct of time? And if so, can it be visualised and understood?

Timeline is a time-experiment inspired by the time models of the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze. His thoughts on the subject can be read on a folded map and can be internalized experimentally.

I wanted to use decisions that my past self had already made. The shirt, with orange and red kois, which I grabbed for no reason in the morning from my closet, should inspire the poster both from the color scheme, as well as the form language.

During my travels through Mexico City i got inspired by the House-Studio of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. It is one of the most important cultural landmarks of Mexico City. Not only for being the studios of two of the most important artists of the twentieth century but also for being on of the first construction of the modern movement in the American continent.

Afterimages occur when the photoreceptors in our retina are stimulated by light. They translate this stimulus into electrical impulses through a chemical reaction. These phantom images are still felt even when the original stimulus has faded away. They are usually perceived as bright spots after looking at the sun or another light source.

For that fun project I experimented with positive afterimages, documenting the colors and shapes I saw in my mind’s eye after looking into different light sources.

I’ve compiled the basic shapes that form the letters “colours” and I’ve created a colourful typographic synthesis. The way I sketched these forms is almost reminiscent of children’s colouring books which function as a medium of pure unencumbered expression.

This is a page out of my first picture book, ‘ausgebüxt’, which is about the difficult situation of zoos and their animals, as well as diversity, friendship, and dealing with situations you (later realize) feel guilty about. I love the joy of trying to draw certain things I’ve always struggled with, like clouds, cars, and crowded places.

Intersections, transitions, networks and cycles — these fundamental principles are integral parts of all complex systems surrounding us in the real world as much as in the ideational world. May it be natural ecosystems between animals, plants and the abiotic or may it be digital ecosystems between virtual entities made of codes and numbers. May it be physical networks like the mycorrhizae that connect billions and billions of plant roots and fungi on a microscopic level or may it be conceptual networks like our global community. May it be corporal connections like the innumerable synapses in each and every brain or may it be the countless thoughts, ideas and memories they connect.

Painting colour fields in gouache simply makes me happy and focused.

Three paths lead down and thus all the way to the top. Poster design for the Hahnenkamm Race 2022 in Kitzbühel.

Staying sane in a limited space and act like there is no pandemic.

After the dark winter, the day began to lighten up little by little. The gray fountain in park near my home, which had been frozen all winter, started working on the day Summertime began. I saw a fountain spouting water for the first time in a long time. it felt like love.

New Years Card in collaboration with silkscreen printer Lézard Graphiques. Twelve beer mats printed in 15 colors. One side shows the term cheers in twelve languages and the other side one of twelve proud flags. For 2020 we wished everybody to sit together whatever country you are from and whatever your sexual orientation is. The title True Colors is borrowed from Cindy Laupers track.

Tears have a healing effect they flush out all negative thoughts and filter the positive ones. “Let the teardrops fall from your eyes”, as Inna De Yard celebrates in the song “Let the water run dry”. The analogue collage is inspired by this song and is part of a series of posters. As a group of five students we founded an initiative which we use as our common space for interchanging our creative thinking, to explore our individuality, exchange ideas and initiate projects. We started by sharing our most favourite songs to get inspired by the musical and lyrical atmosphere. Feel free to explore more of our collective works @papiamagazin.

»all the colors« is a homage to graphic design and print. It plays with geometric shapes, the RGB color palette, and the layering of elements which creates light and shadow. The typeface OCR-A used for the print series is one of the first fonts created that could be recognised by both humans and computers.

P2P2P is an abstract depiction of how ideas are given life over the internet through collective input. The matrix takes inspiration from bitfields in torrent files, each point representing a single contributor, while the variance in textures, patterns and colours mimics the polarizing yet tribalist nature of human opinion.

This poster can be described as a kinetic still life, a celebration of the dynamic community that has formed around CalArts. A legacy that thrives on the diversity between people, forms, and ideas; brought together as an experiment that can be loosely defined as concrete poetry, geometric jazz… and semi controlled scientific experimentation (thinking about 80s movies Toxic Avenger, Weird Science, etc… always a silly mix of temptation and greed to counterbalance the science at stake). The splitting and splicing of organic and geometric forms establishes a foundation for one to stand on, but there is a strong desire to breakout against the structure. This is where the fun happens.

A flag designed in celebration of the 4th year anniversary of my marriage. The flag was created and gifted to my wife to monumentalise this milestone (linen) and the memory of the big day.

Symbolic elements have been incorporated into the flag to highlight different aspects of our wedding day. The central circle and radiating triangles symbolise the London lighthouse where the ceremony took place, line work represents the date 07.04.17, and the colour tone picks up on the bouquet.
