The Zurich based artist deals with perception and the aspect of looking. Using the mistakes of perceptual
apprehension has become more and more important in the way he generates ideas and works. The function of a three-dimensional object and its carrier is explored, often deconstructed and put into a new order. Light completes the paintings and is thematized by the different architectural parts of the works which are painted. The colours reflect and radiate on the background which is dipped in colored light. The front and the backsides of the works are equally important. The works have a sculptural character – but always remain committed to painting.

Eastern Design Conference 2018 Roll-Up

This roll-up was a part of the whole conference identity. At a conference, we explore the relationship between local projects with global impact. The identity was made in the spirit of organic and continuous design. It was built with three main design elements: characteristic, an east-west typeface (Woodkit by Ondrej Jób), highly specific eastern colours (and finetuned unique eastern repetition. The colour inspiration came from a small village in Eastern Slovakia called Pozdišovce, the old producer of traditional ceramics. The third element is reiteration and repetition. On the one hand, this refers to the endless experimentation and repetition present in the design process.

“a” colorful dragon

Uniting two worlds, the traditional typography that comes from black on white and an infinite world made of various shades of colors. Let’s transport ourselves, let’s imagine, let’s immerse ourselves in creativity, in fantasy. A simple “a” could become a dragon, a dragon of a thousand shades of colors. “a” colorful dragon.

Collision

Fear and Uncertainty. A body, a person that is fighting against the gravity of a pandemic. We felt more than ever this conflict of mind and body. Alone, confined in our homes, but mainly in our deep inside.

This artwork depict the meanderings that we all went throught. We don’t know if the body is stuck or free. But we feel a power which is bringing us further. This movment, by the use of graphics is depicted as chaos, it’s a journey. A beautiful filters that we have to defy.

Oneironautic

My client came to me wanting labels for his range of Pet-Nat natural sparkling wines. He wanted to call the wine ‘Oneironautic’, another word for lucid dreaming or being awake within one’s dream. So I went to the eye with wings; the open eye to symbolize consciousness, the state of awake-ness and wings to signify seeking or the journey. Hypnos, the God of sleep, was often depicted with wings. The typography is the squiggles you see in front of your tired eyes in a dark room, deliberately hard to read. The colours, like the wine itself and the place the wine is made are vivid and psychedelic.

Fish on vacation

The photo was part of a project, where I had the challenge to create an alternative album cover for an Icelandic jazz band. The idea was to represent the color and improvisation that lays within jazz while connecting the band’s style and humor to their country of origin.

Swimming Pool – Troubled Waters

Poster for an exhibition at Künstlerhaus Bethanien. The theme of the exhibition is the artistic exploration of the topic “swimming pool” and water. For some a place of longing, for others an expression of Western decadence. I had printed the title of the exhibition on transparent foil and sunk it into a swimming pool. For the poster I spent an afternoon at the pool and shot photos of water reflection and the title, which slowly sank into the pool. A really fun job, finally working in swimming trunks at the pool instead of sitting in front of the computer.

en theos / ἐν θεός

My work always comes up against borderline experiences and moments. Total artificiality is juxtaposed with existential questions of feminism, organical and material conditions of physicality and a recurring question of transformation.

en theos / the god inside
Every day we are surrounded by countless images and can read them virtuously and subconsciously. But even the smallest change irritates our eyes and pulls us out of the usual flow of vision. In my collages we can observe the layers below. We can see into the shape and soul of the humans. And as we are looking inside, something looks back at us and grows outwards. Implosion and explosion.

Cool Underground Music

It’s all about the colours! I love the contrast between earthy tones & fluorescent neons most. Maybe that’s because I spent the majority of my 20s discovering the beautiful landscapes of British Columbia at day and its dance floors at night? Together with friends I have been enjoying the outdoors and making people dance since 2019 – sometimes both at the same time. I’ve designed posters for various events, including the debut of Cool Underground Music (C.U.M.), a collective of music lovers that came together just before the world went on pause in 2020. I can’t wait to see people get together again some day soon!

UdK 2030

Visual Identity and editorial design for the annual symposium UdK 2030 held at Berlin University of the Arts. The symposium deals with the development and different possibilities of how an art school looks like in the future. This topic is visually translated to a set of different logos. Every year the talks and workshops get included in a magazine. These are the covers of the magazines published so far.

Tame Impala at Zorlu PSM

First I discovered Tame Impala when I saw amazing animation music video to the song named “Feels Like We Only Go Backwards”. I remember that I listen to this song again and again and it hooked me up. Then I listen to their whole discography, previous songs and albums. It was trippy, hypnotizing and blow my mind and I got addicted by them for a while. From this point I tried to express and illustrate my feelings on this poster. The LSD on the tongue resembling vinyl guides you to the parallel universe painted in psychedelic colors with its music.
