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.
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.
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.
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.
How do blind people see, or rather feel colors and how do they imagine them? My work shows numerous color names in braille, which, seen from a distance, result in the achromatic color gray.
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 🙂

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.

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.

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.
the aesthetic stage provided by COLORS, allows the artist to perform in an environment without distraction, giving her the spotlight. through the element of the microphone, which is always
present next to the artist, we can always realise the frame in which the artist moves, despite
the training.

Kapitza present their vision of the city as a jubilant place bursting with colour, form and pattern, and where its buildings are vibrant three-dimensional geometric shapes. Imagine walking around and losing yourself amongst the colourful architecture, and discovering a vivid urban landscape full of surprise and inspiration.
GEGENWARTEN | PRESENCES was a public space exhibition taking place at various locations around Chemnitz. On display were projects by 20 artists and collectives whose site-specific works – interventions and sculptures, installations and performances – deal with social, political and urban issues of the city of Chemnitz. Art in public space can contribute to discovering hidden qualities in a city, pointing out commonalities, linking them synergetically and thus telling both forgotten and new stories. The visual identity we created for the festival underlines this approach of making new qualities visible and tangible, by suggesting different visions of the city in abstract, colourful collages.
Twice a year the Kulturstiftung des Bundes (German Federal Cultural Foundation) publishes a magazine in size of a newspaper. Each issue focuses on one topic, this time it was: Digital nodes. Digitalisation is changing the art world, art production and art reception. For issue #33 published we designed a magazine using an app to reveal and explore the interfaces connecting analogue and digital space. With the help of augmented reality (AR) technology, we pushed the boundaries of the magazine into the digital realm.
What is the colour of a memory? When I asked myself this question, Milomani began to take shape in my mind. I like the idea that this figure was created from all the good memories in the universe. It makes me happy to look at him. I imagine that his facets are constantly changing, just as I suppose the memories in the universe are always changing.
Cinémathèque is a small art-house cinema in Leipzig. It shows current films in original language with subtitles, curated film programs and experimental formats – accompanied by film talks, discussions, lectures and exhibitions. Last year we designed a visual identity which includes business cards, posters, a printed monthly programme, social media templates and a website relaunch. The concise and colourful design creates visibility in the city and beyond. The appearance bundles the diverse venues and the website in particular provides clear access to the programme and events.
It’s all a question of perspective …
