welcome to the universe of #beautifulcreatures
The universe of #beautifulcreatures is a colorful, exotic and magical world. It’s rooted in reality but extends to the unlimited world of imagination. It combines the beautiful creations of Mother Nature such as animals, plants and the human body with a fantastic, weird, and slightly bizarre touch – it enhances the world as we know it and beyond.
Mosquito Hunter
As the sun begins to dip below the horizon on a balmy summer evening, Homer the mosquito hunter emerges from his hiding place. With his vibrant wings and tantalizing scent, he lures unsuspecting mosquitoes to their demise. It’s a craft he’s honed to perfection, and on his best nights, he can snag up to 40 of the pesky insects.

Ghost Rabbit
Robbi, a European hare, had deep love for Easter. Even after his passing, his spirit could not find rest, causing him to return as a “ghost rabbit” each year during the Easter holidays to continue hiding eggs for both young and old to find. Though his night-time activity may be unsettling, do not be afraid by his appearance.

Cossack Clown
Cossack clowns, originating from an East Slavic ethnic group, are renowned for their traditional Kozachok dances performed during Carnival. Their costumes display a Venetian influence, exemplified by Wasco’s vibrant dress and intricately designed mask. Witness their dance at least once in your lifetime!

The Vegetarian Butcher
Eugean descents from an old butcher species on planet Thitch. Unfortunately, most animals on his planet are threatened by extinction since a large explosion released toxic gases from the soil some years ago. To survive he switched to a vegetarian diet, sometimes supplementing it with insects for protein.

The Green Eyed Surfer
Coming from outer space, Sergey, the green-eyed surfer, explores foreign galaxies. Friendly and extremely curious by nature, he has so far seen more galaxies and species than any human being can imagine. Riding and gliding on his retro board, powered by crystals from a mysterious meteorite, he can fly for hours without any contact with a living soul.

Jellyfish
Shiley the Colorful, well-known for his bright yellow and blue colors, is a member of the unique species “the disembarking jellyfish”. As a sea-dweller almost mocking all evolution theory, he has a hard time travelling the deep seas. His body, rather made for life ashore, allows him only to float along with the movements of the water.

illustrations
My illustration style ranges from black and white to colorful, from (colored) pens to brush pens and from Copic Markers to watercolors; mixed media techniques. A lot of my motives evolve around the universe of #beautifulcreatures, but are not limited to the series. Sizes are mostly smaller formats up to DIN A4.
paintings
Acrylic and oil colors provide a wonderful supplement to my line-based and small-sized illustrations. I like to experiment with large formats, more plane-based techniques as well as the art of mixing colors and other techniques such as spraying, working on different backgrounds – alongside different processes.
digital art
Digital art is the newest category I added to my portfolio. Searching for the sweet spot of combining classical sketching skills with the unlimited possibilities of today’s digital applications, I enriched my artworks with a cartoon/comic style – even more colorful, loud and trendy.
