Triptych composed of 3 strange figures well dressed in patterned clothes inspired by the works of Max Bill

Especially the last year, living in a pandemic, made me realize how much freedom the ability to drive a car can bring you. If it´s getting somewhere safely or just getting out of the city into nature, just to escape the noise for a while. Driving can make everyday life a bit easier and is also sign of independence. And who doesn’t love listening to music with friends while driving just anywhere?

Accepting yourself for who you are can take a lot of courage and bravery. Loving yourself takes time. What world would we live in, if everyone would stop hating on others and start embracing their own self? If we could love and treat our bodies as holy and not just see their faults and flaws. Who said they were flaws in the first place? “So don’t be afraid to let them show. Your true colors.”

Smile if you’re depressed.

Nothing man made will ever be natural.

The ubiquitous, social media-influencer-driven #bestlife motif that’s become increasingly groany as well as corporatized. While the sampled elements draw on the faux-rustic glamping trend ironically, the glowing complementary colorscheme undercuts any trace of authenticity. The overt statement ‘anywhere but here’ calls upon Fugazi to blend in an ambiguity… is this retreat to nature counterculture, counter-countercultural, or just another form of conspicuous consumption?

A small study on the element neon.

All life on earth is interdependent. If one part of the chain breaks off completely, the system begins to crumble and threatens to break down. So: Don’t kill the crew!

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.

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 🙂
