Colours’ fluidity is the reflection of our perception. This dynamic attitude, due to the undefined number of variabilities, reveals the multiplicity of the spatial and emotional feelings.
Plus royaliste que le roi
As I indicated in the text submitted yesterday with another photo. It is about a “photographic capture” staged not retouched and not rigged. This photo is one of the two elements of a photo diptych I submit the second image as well.
Universal Face
Just like stained glass patterns, the human dynamic is interchangeable. It is formed by an evolving sequence of elaborate yet basic emotions that are found in every person. Basic emotions may seem divided through cultural differences but are actually all bound by the same complex and beautiful human feelings. Facial expressions are proof that we have universal manifestations that are independent of culture and language. Stained glass is animated by colour, light, and form. Likewise, the face is altered through the expression of emotions.
außerhalb der Zeit (out of time)
This work approaches in different ways the shifted perception of reality, self-perception and intimacy during the first lockdown. Many everyday contexts are unchanged, but feel different, more intense or numb. Sometimes the days of the week blur, sometimes life seems to stand still, as if one’s own presence exists outside of general “time.”
An effective retreat from the linear concept of measurable time cannot succeed, because this time inevitably passes: the measured moment is unfortunately always completed with the execution of its measurement.
Oneironautics
I am tired, I am weary /
I could sleep for a thousand years /
A thousand dreams that would awake me /
Different colors made of tears.

Tolerance
Ignore is no tolerance.
No Culture No Future
We have all been deprived of attending cultural events for almost a year. I just want everyone to remember how much these events brings happiness to our lives. That in the future, we humans are able to interact with each other, in person.
Rack
“Rack came to me one night before bedtime with no meaning, no sense to me. It just came and used me as a tool and I did my best. Nothing more, nothing less. And here’s the result of my skill and knowledge at this point. I enjoyed working on it and it was really fun designing all the different shapes. Tens of them ended up in trash—too weird, too simple, too complicated, you name it.” — Designer Jan Charvát
Rack is unicase, but consists of two different alphabets, both of them fully Latin-extended character sets. You can even mix the cases as you like. There are some emojis like German card symbols, money, eyes or pile of poo. With the eyes and poo you can even choose which way they will look through stylistic set.

Hart Magazine
Hart is a leading Belgian magazine about art. Hart looks, reflects and writes with insight and inspiration. About artists and their work, about exhibitions, art institutions, collecting and engagement.
In September 2019 Hart had undergone a visual transformation at the hand of Vrints-Kolsteren. The studio was responsible for the re-design and still is for the ongoing art-direction of the monthly publication. The persistent use of typography and a structured layout leaves room for the content to take the lead. Each issue, a quote gets highlighted on the cover in a contemporary position, infused with a surprising new color combination.

Allan Sekula: OKEANOS
Allan Sekula: OKEANOS inaugurated TBA21’s year-long series of events, exhibits, talks and performances dedicated to the oceans. The exhibition presented a selection of works by American artist and theorist Allan Sekula whose most significant area of inquiry remained the political economy of seafaring.
The visual identity features a vibrant color palette, robust typography and corrugated rectangular shapes echoing Sekula’s recurring motif of cargo-containers. The stacking of solid colors evokes the diversity of forces that shape global economy.

Single tone coloured pencil drawing created as a limited edition t-shirt design.
August
A project created to explore the beauty in everyday normality through the female body. I combine real life proportions with a stylised drawing approach, exploring an intense, fleshy pink colour palette and elements of the present-day. This allows me to transform the traditions of classical art present in my work into ambiguous narratives of modern life.
naissance patriotique
It’s a “captation photographique” personal term to my work. This is a photographic staging made without special effects or computer retouching. All the color, composition and light work is done in the studio during the shooting.
For the print, I would like you use the best possibility.
Also, I would like to propose you a second proposition. As you will see on my website, I make very colorful wallpapers for the walls of my exhibitions and installations. I propose to create a pattern especially for Slanted which will be printed in full page with bright colors and neon inks. The presence of this motif on a full page suggests the extension of the motif outside the magazine like a wallpaper.
Space to Create

(Train)Love
This one is for the train nerds. Detailed wall we painted in Zuffenhausen for Deutsche Bahn. We picked up some elements of the different Stuttgart s-train coatings, mixed it up with some DB-displayboards and added some graphic patterns and graffiti-elements. Thanks Paul Furmaniak for rendering the 3D-water drops.
Digital Glas Insects
Trying to combine the aesthetics of insects with the aesthetics of glas. With the help of simple 3d shapes and just a few colours.
Mirror Ball
“Polydor Records asked me to design a poster responding to a track from Paul Weller’s most recent album „On sunset“. Sonically the album has a psychedelic, earthy vibe. I was really excited about the task to design a poster for a lyric. When I still went to university, I used to do this more often as a practice for designing posters. Music and lyrics in general do not only determine the content of posters, but give a lot of inspiration for the design. The lyrics of mirror ball immediately inspired me and it was fun to create the poster for it.
Honestly?
This piece belongs to Jesu Moratiel’s Superfake Paintings series. A body, from the point of view of a film camera, appear with a new skin. With a post-punk cybernetic aesthetics, that also remind to a new ancient egyptian hieroglyphics, the body with the texture of Spotify appear in a suggestive position, dancing, in a festive situation, that remind us of body contact sensations and the rituals that define us as social beings. The corporate image of the large multinationals in the digital age is expanding, becoming the packaging that represents us, they end up being part of our needs just like the skin we inhabit. We are part of them and they are part of us. Welcome to the great hive.
