A visual carpet for the eyes warm and cozy.

I was asked to design the front of a small box ( 2” W x 3.5” L) of six
hemp pre-rolls.
The company cultique.co, in collaboration with Higgs, wanted something
else than their logo, so I created a colorful layered version of the name
using typography and vibrant colors. The art work had to work on the small box and a limited edition printed poster (13″ w x 18″ h).

Poster series for Donau Conversations – Jazz at Donau 115 Berlin.

This piece of work is an experimental accident. A tiny piece of a glitch, dead pixels which are compressed to a color explosion simply screenshotted. By accident this error was deeply fascinating because of its colorfulness in the smallest place: A glitch. Endless possibilities are made possible through the scaling.

The poster “merge” celebrates the fact that we live in an era where everything appears to fuse and where boundaries of the past are obsolete. What is gender? What is race? What are genres? What are borders? Those are all theoretical concepts and have nothing to do with reality and we should be happy of getting aware of that, finally.

Visual identity made for Agatha Christie’s books, with the goal of serving a captive audience but also draw in new readers to her work. This on going project started in 2020 with 10 books, expanding 10 more each year.

An organic hand lettering making contrast with studio photos, where a key object is the central point of the subject. The intention of this collection is to give unity, but also be flexible to a single cover work by itself.

Some of the most culturally influential artists of the past century have been the source of inspiration for this colour experiment. I started out by manually illustrating the most famous portrait of the respective artist on my iPad; then I transformed every line into a square and gave them different colours. The result are squeaking colour patterns yielding in abstract, form-libre versions of the initial picture – a chaotic tribute to the colourfulness of the artist himself.

My forever ongoing design project ASIT has always been a place where boldness and eccentricity are free to roam. It’s a warm home to all the wonderful quirks that make us human. This endearing crowd is a reminder that everybody is different – and that’s what makes life full of colour. DIVER-ASIT-Y.

I have this thing with huge empty walls; to me they are like a massive blank canvas waiting to be transformed into a piece of art. One of my recent projects – „Young Romans“ (a series of portraits of people I know and love) – would lend itself especially well to such an endeavour, if I may say so. Original: oil crayon on cartridge paper, 321 x 455 mm.

We suffocate in plastic waste. And too much of it ends up in the sea.Microplastics are a deadly danger for fish, marine mammals and seabirds. Because conventional plastics such as PET are not biodegradable.In contrast, flowering plants are part of the natural material cycle.They grow,blossom,wither,are at some point biologically decomposed by microorganisms and serve as the basic material for the creation of new life. Polyflowers is a photographic project that deals with these contrasts. Above all it is about the contrast between the natural and the synthetic color spectrum:flowers in plastic bottles, nature in polymers.Through colorblocking,plastic and nature are juxtaposed in their colors.

There is something going on but still it is quiet.

Poster and identity for Busan Biennale 2012

36 logos is a personal project reimaging existing brand concepts in a new way. Following my 36 days of type 2020, I started a new series with the chromatic effect I developed for the type challenge. To explore the visual variabilities of this technique, I decided to do another run with popular logos and brands instead of letters only. I tried to create my own interpretation of the individual logotypes – inspired, but mostly deviating from the brand guidelines. The style could be described as an overblown form of neumorphism, which is characterized by its holographic chrome textures.

Bei meinen künstlerischen Arbeiten interessiere ich mich für eine starke Formensprache und knallige Farben. Auch eine kritische und humorvolle Auseinandersetzung mit aktuellen Themen wie Umweltschutz, Sexismus, Gender etc. ist mir sehr wichtig. Für die Umsetzung meiner Arbeiten benutze ich Illustration, Animation und Tätowieren. Die Einsendungen sind einzelne Illustrationen aus einem von mir gestalteten Magazin mit dem Titel “Nonbinary Future”.

Times of isolation lead to moments of reflection that lead to close observation of the nearby surroundings that lead to observing details and objects that are made of private, subjective collections that lead to understanding intimate needs that take the form of a diary that become our own story that becomes our own private museum.

Our Christmas cards combine all associations we have during Christmas time and show them in various graphic and artistic expressions. Prints, illustrations, three-dimensional objects, photographs and copies are united in the consistent aesthetics of the riso printer. A series of four cards presents itself in gold as well as neon orange and black. These cards were different regarding to the design process. We took advantage of digitality and limited possibilities of interaction during the year. Using the split screen function became our method. We generated a kit of pictures and text from which we alternately took one each and arranged it, intuitively and experimentally.

In August 2020, Anika Kunst and Lilo Schäfer founded the design studio lano. The contrast of a strong, black logo placed on a range of six playful colors and fine micro-typography with charming punctuation on a white background shows the approach of two young female designers to create sensitive yet consequently good design. Conceptual thinking and ambitiously precise work is characteristic for them. Between the fundamental colors yellow, red and blue, orange and pink join the range whereat the yellow is a lemon one, the orange is a soft peach and the pink is a light rose. A light grey is unagitated and brings balance to the strong red and blue.

This poster illustrates one of the first tools that interfaced me with the world of color, a tool as simple as it is iconic. At a time when we go more and more, year after year, towards a process of digitization, this wants to be a nostalgic tribute to the brilliant and colorful analog world.
