Afterimages occur when the photoreceptors in our retina are stimulated by light. They translate this stimulus into electrical impulses through a chemical reaction. These phantom images are still felt even when the original stimulus has faded away. They are usually perceived as bright spots after looking at the sun or another light source.

For that fun project I experimented with positive afterimages, documenting the colors and shapes I saw in my mind’s eye after looking into different light sources.

I’ve compiled the basic shapes that form the letters “colours” and I’ve created a colourful typographic synthesis. The way I sketched these forms is almost reminiscent of children’s colouring books which function as a medium of pure unencumbered expression.

This is a page out of my first picture book, ‘ausgebüxt’, which is about the difficult situation of zoos and their animals, as well as diversity, friendship, and dealing with situations you (later realize) feel guilty about. I love the joy of trying to draw certain things I’ve always struggled with, like clouds, cars, and crowded places.

Intersections, transitions, networks and cycles — these fundamental principles are integral parts of all complex systems surrounding us in the real world as much as in the ideational world. May it be natural ecosystems between animals, plants and the abiotic or may it be digital ecosystems between virtual entities made of codes and numbers. May it be physical networks like the mycorrhizae that connect billions and billions of plant roots and fungi on a microscopic level or may it be conceptual networks like our global community. May it be corporal connections like the innumerable synapses in each and every brain or may it be the countless thoughts, ideas and memories they connect.

Painting colour fields in gouache simply makes me happy and focused.

After the dark winter, the day began to lighten up little by little. The gray fountain in park near my home, which had been frozen all winter, started working on the day Summertime began. I saw a fountain spouting water for the first time in a long time. it felt like love.

New Years Card in collaboration with silkscreen printer Lézard Graphiques. Twelve beer mats printed in 15 colors. One side shows the term cheers in twelve languages and the other side one of twelve proud flags. For 2020 we wished everybody to sit together whatever country you are from and whatever your sexual orientation is. The title True Colors is borrowed from Cindy Laupers track.

Tears have a healing effect they flush out all negative thoughts and filter the positive ones. “Let the teardrops fall from your eyes”, as Inna De Yard celebrates in the song “Let the water run dry”. The analogue collage is inspired by this song and is part of a series of posters. As a group of five students we founded an initiative which we use as our common space for interchanging our creative thinking, to explore our individuality, exchange ideas and initiate projects. We started by sharing our most favourite songs to get inspired by the musical and lyrical atmosphere. Feel free to explore more of our collective works @papiamagazin.

»all the colors« is a homage to graphic design and print. It plays with geometric shapes, the RGB color palette, and the layering of elements which creates light and shadow. The typeface OCR-A used for the print series is one of the first fonts created that could be recognised by both humans and computers.

P2P2P is an abstract depiction of how ideas are given life over the internet through collective input. The matrix takes inspiration from bitfields in torrent files, each point representing a single contributor, while the variance in textures, patterns and colours mimics the polarizing yet tribalist nature of human opinion.

This poster can be described as a kinetic still life, a celebration of the dynamic community that has formed around CalArts. A legacy that thrives on the diversity between people, forms, and ideas; brought together as an experiment that can be loosely defined as concrete poetry, geometric jazz… and semi controlled scientific experimentation (thinking about 80s movies Toxic Avenger, Weird Science, etc… always a silly mix of temptation and greed to counterbalance the science at stake). The splitting and splicing of organic and geometric forms establishes a foundation for one to stand on, but there is a strong desire to breakout against the structure. This is where the fun happens.

A flag designed in celebration of the 4th year anniversary of my marriage. The flag was created and gifted to my wife to monumentalise this milestone (linen) and the memory of the big day.

Symbolic elements have been incorporated into the flag to highlight different aspects of our wedding day. The central circle and radiating triangles symbolise the London lighthouse where the ceremony took place, line work represents the date 07.04.17, and the colour tone picks up on the bouquet.

I created the poster while listening to “Let the water run dry” by Inna de Yard and Ken Boothe. I took the lyrics from the song and arranged them in a different way
to address the environmental problem of water scarcity. There is no dry run for us to solve the environmental problems.

First installment in a series of vinyl EPs released by The Very Polish Cut–Outs label. Eastern European Cut–Outs focuses on 70’s and 80’s music from Eastern Bloc countries.

As we design posters for theory-intense events, they usually end up type-crowded, so we try to keep ’em loud, interesting and still mindful.
Color is used for entertainment, supporting content or just attracting ones attention.

Photos are part of the art project Digitalizing The Water. The project’s main idea is to offer an “alternative way” to save water with its digitalization. Humanity tries to preserve knowledge, intellectual and cultural heritage with digitalization techniques. Why not try doing the same with water, the most precious element on the planet. Photos are made with a phone camera without any computer editing.

Music was always one of the most important things in my life. For a long time I’ve been creating posters for various music venues in Poland for both, local and foreign artists. Posters are very special to me as I think they stand exactly where art and graphic design touch. In my work I’m always drawn to vivid colours and this is especially visible in my posters.

“La nueva disquera” is a fake record label.
It’s just my chance to design (fake) album covers.

I start doing this illustrations back in 2019.
The project has been exposed at El Diluvio Universal (Barcelona), april 2021.

The COVID-19 pandemic has proven how much we depend on labour. People fear for their existence and are demanding the right to work much as in earlier times. But in fact, what they actually aspire to is the right to exist in dignity. Is a dignified existence without labour unimaginable? The image «Beyond Labour» is part of an image series of the fictive report SWISSTOPIA AUTOMATA. The report visualises and thereby introduces us to a society in which labour does not play such a central and in many ways problematic role. It is a glimpse into a colourful world in which a dignified and self-determined existence realises itself through leisure.
