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.
Snowdrops
Snoop, the little hedgehog, loves snowdrops. As soon as the snow thaws and the first snowdrops poke their heads out, Snoop’s time has come. At night, he sneaks onto other people’s property and steals a few to bring to his sweetheart.

Moguls Champion
Noah Gusmon discovered his passion for moguls in the early 70s. Armed with colorful wings and his inherited vintage gear, he glides through the slopes, with a perfect technique that not only pushes the limits of his equipment, but also earned him countless medals at the FIS Freestyle World Ski Championships and the Winter Olympics.

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.

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.
paper bag art
Unveiling Hidden Gems: The Art of Paper Bag Upcycling! In a world where it’s easy to discard what’s deemed old or worn, I found inspiration in giving new life to used paper bags – turning them into something extraordinary!
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.
