How to design shapes and select colors? All elements of this graphic are based on a photo. This photo was reinterpreted and abstracted by misinterpretations during loading by the computer. This resulted in countless shapes and color codes, on the basis of which I created a new design. The result was an interplay of digital and analog, of mistakes and conscious decisions.

The outlying Bellahøj district of Copenhagen is characterised by suburban building-block aesthetics. However, few know that hidden in this area is a flourishing amphitheatre that plays host to a music festival. We have emphasised this unique aspect of contrasts in the posters we created for ”En Sommerdag på Bellahøj”.

The abstract forms and shapes mimic the surrounding scenery and combine with bold colours to set a vibrant mood. There is a nod to the tradition of silk-screen printing in the combination of magenta and orange that create the poster’s bright red colour. We have also used this detail of overprint within the typography, Lars-Bold Extended, drawn by Mads at Bold Decisions.

‘Sisters in wine club’ is a wine edition from the Bernhard winery from Wolfsheim, that was launched on the international women’s day. The idea behind this project was to show female diversity in all its beautiful facets. The result is five wines and matching designs each as different and colorful as are women. Bright colours and clean lines are the connecting momentum of all designs. The illustrations each take up the distinctive nature of unique women characters. They are expressions of female individuality and self-confidence. The characters convey a playful awareness of their very own strengths, making you feel the enriching value of diversity.

Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic we are dealing a lot with barrier tapes in our daily routines. I wanted to create a ribbon that connects and stands for solidarity. That’s why I created the concept of the outdoor installation #wachtsambleiben. My multicolored streamer has been installed all around the city center of my hometown Oldenburg in March 2021. As art + culture are suffering very much in this pandemic, my Corona awareness campaign brings art and positive messaging to the street. 
Beside of the installation posters, banners, billboards and social media assets reminded the people to take care of what is important now. “Wachtsam” means careful but also mindful in German 😷

The work wants to be an approach to the upgrading of the small community after the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, a trace that seen from the above becomes a characterizing place, recreating a meeting point between culture, sport and nature. Once again I’m confronted with the urban space and the desire to regenerate an area by a group of young people grown up in that plate, linked to that space for many reasons, grown up with basketball among friends, for friends. A new challenge; each playground in fact has a story in itself, which must be listened to and then translated into shapes, colors, graphics and relocated to where it was, always communicating with the surrounding environment.

A book to celebrate the 80th birthday of Nadia Bassanese, a gallerist from Trieste. Inside you will find the “splinters”: her memories, her exhibitions, her rendez-vous between Trieste, New York, Venice, Paris, Milan with personalities like Leo Castelli, one of Nadia’s great friends, Jean-Michel Folon, Bruno Munari, Roy Lichtenstein, Ileana Sonnabend. And also pictures, letters, cards from her archive, as for instance the beautiful original sheets with the stripes and the “benday dots”, commissioned by Lichtenstein to a paper factory in NY, and which he used for his “Nudes”. On the cover, a blow up of these papers and the Bodoni, taken from the letterhead of the Leo Castelli Gallery in NY.

Fabriano Festival del disegno takes place each year in Milan, as an occasion for drawing-lovers of all ages to meet and share their visual thoughts, or just to let themselves be carried away by signs, shapes and colours.
+fortuna creates the graphic communication for the event since 2017. The project includes the whole identity system, from information to promotion. The 2020 edition saw the participation of Guido Scarabottolo, the great illustrator who animated colourful characters drawing each other, inviting young and old to rediscover the pleasure of drawing.
The colourful characters welcome participants at the entrance, guide them along the routes and orientate them on the map.

Before Covid-19 broke out, I spent a month in South Portugal surfing and volunteering in a hostel. I discovered a lot of beautiful costal areas and small villages. When I got home quarantine time just started and I really missed traveling, surfing, and all the beautiful landscapes. So instead of being there, I started to draw them. I chose a few colors, which make the illustrations happy and playful even the landscapes were sometimes quite dramatic. Drawing these colorful illustrations by hand made me feel like being back in Portugal and last but not least made me very happy.

Change is a festival about architecture and climate change, a place to share ideas and create connections between architects, universities, and people. A conversation to find resolutions and think about how much we impact our way of life.
Data is a tool for measuring changes, which is why we designed a variable data–driven identity system, to show through an easy-to-understand visual system all the changes and their impact on everyday life.
A visual identity to attract, raise awareness, and create participation.

The twenty photographs assembled for this composition represent a small sample of an ongoing project that dates back to 2015, dealing with grid-based, geometric forms found on everyday items. The captivatingly colorful paintings (both rudimentary and intricate – vibrant and faded) that adorn the legions of trucks crisscrossing the country of Turkey appear here as the subject.

Eyes are our first approach of reality, through them we can explore the world and fix all memories.
With eyes we also communicate and discover bad or wonderful emotions.
“Eyes” print is all that, in its simplicity.

Just fun with product shots, colours, grid and typography. The client didn’t like it. But I do so I don’t mind.

It’s 50 shades of orange. It’s a Mess. It’s an ORANGE MESS.
And the beauty lies in its contrast – chaotic in its best way yet considered within its setup.

Institute of Monochrome Art (IOMA) is the pairing of two artists who have worked, or continue to work in a single colour and explores, documents and questions the monochrome and the artists’ interest in it, highlighting both the similarities and differences. Facilitating ‘phantom’ or imagined exhibition opportunities for these artists can be seen at the project website below.

Silkscreen poster for “Selfie” group exhibition, at XIII Havana Biennale. Commissioned by René Portocarrero Silkscreen Workshop, “Selfie” exhibition was focused on making a portrait of Cuban present society. With this in mind, the work adopted a critical approach to our own inability as social individuals to pay attention to our real problems. Most of the time we don´t listen to reasons and close our eyes to the reality. We cannot afford such passive stance.

“New Systems: Rules and Tools” featured a series of six artworks and two murals, all of them focusing more on the process, rather than the final product. The aim was to continuously create new shapes and generate new compositions, by creating new rules and building systems. The exhibition was part of EUROPALIA ROMANIA 2019-2020.

In times of uncertainty with our minds circling these postcards are a reminder that we’re all going to be ok again.

Floral motifs in weird landscapes. Organic forms and abstract foliage with a wondrous touch. Fine tuned with structure and textures. Inspired, among other things, by Japanese fabric patterns and medieval herb books. This mixture results in modern, subtle patterns and designs with fine details and nuances as well as vibrant and individual colour combinations.

The Scottish Colourists were four well-known painters (Peploe, Hunter, Fergusson, Cadell) who were grouped under this title given their similarities within their approaches and philosophy. Despite differences in medium at times, their usage and angst-free application of colour in their work became their signature. »Every man has to find his way, and mine will be the one of colour.« Fergusson said; based on this sentiment we developed the Foundation’s identity to include a multiple different business cards each featuring a unique artwork detail on the front. This allowed the Foundation to show the sheer breadth of all artists both in terms of subject and style.

The mine is based on a blank sheet of white paper. I am tense. I don’t want thoughts but they don’t stop. I’m looking for the emptiness in my head. As white as the sheet of paper. A white with endless possibilities. What to do?
I’m starting. Carefully, slowly, then faster. The line is created. It runs through the pure white. I stroll to the left, stop, turn and circling, race back and stop. I come to rest more and more until it flows.
My drawings are created spontaneously. I let my pen slide freely over the paper to develop shapes and forms. Later I will go into the shapes that are created in more detail to create various organic elements.
