International love affair

This poster is a tribute to Keleketla, an important musical and cultural project born between the UK and South Africa.
The typeface was designed within the #imagebasedtypes project: typefaces built on a grid drawn over an image.
Specifically, an illustration of the fifth Tibetan was used as a starting point to generate this typeface.

CMWK Bliss

I designed with a black background to add depth and enhance colors to their most beautiful and powerful aspects. I also used CMYK colors because they are the essence, and they add to the spectrum in the printing process.

I used different variations of the same typeface as a starting point to set the composition. Then, my imagination empowered me to be playful on the canvas with various forms and shapes.

Spectrum of love

During the first wave of pandemics, I had to take some jobs I did’t really like to make a living. After some time I got quite bored and I started to doubt my own skills and even my interest in design. I started to make some works which were completely opposite to my everyday jobs. I wanted to get back to the source of what excites me in creative work. I started to experiment with colors, shapes, exploring new techniques and let the expression and joy of creation to take over.

Flowers

This work is an illustration of the famous quote by David Wojnarowicz. In the midst of a sometimes horrific world, “Smell the flowers while you can” insists on being aware of the love, joy and happiness also floating around us at this very moment. Realising that sometimes takes courage. And sometimes we just need to look out of our window.

Let´s stick together!

Letterpress mailing we created together with Kiyo Matsumoto from “Letterpress 77” and Maria Tsilomitrou. We created this artwork during the long winter lockdown 2020, we wanted to send out something fun to cheer up the mood and to bring some color into the especially grey time that it was.

colourstudy in paper #186

In my work I research and experiment with colour as a source of endless inspiration. The study of colour to me is a craft. Studying requires passion, focus and time. Training the eye, consciously observing and responding to unforeseen effects leads to an action in which “making” and “thinking” are related. This work Colourstudy in paper #186 is one out of a serie of 350 🙂

Soap Mask

Our Soap Mask does not provide efficient or even long-lasting protection. Not a bit. But it enriches some lockdown monotony, in which new experiences are often limited to the digital space, with new, surprising, real and optimistically colored perspectives.

collection

Turning faded pages into a new colorful life. The most important part of my creative process is searching for antique books, paper scraps and botanical books. Composing them magically into a second life is my goal.

FlowerPop

In 2020 the theme for WIN WIN Award, the world’s leading sustainability award, was biodiversity. I was asked by the team behind the Win Win Award if I wanted to participate with some work of art on the theme of meadows to make awareness of World Biodiversity Day.

Meadows are a natural work of art, colourful outdoor masterpieces, the home to a treasure trove of different plants and insects. But sadly, many are disappearing. How can we help to preserve these? One way is to simply delay cutting grassy areas until plants have finished flowering. This enables good root development and allows wild species to flourish.
