Subsequent to the theoretical part of my Bachelor thesis – evaluating designs of evilness within Fantasy films – these 360° artworks of my own vicious creatures were exhibited at "SENSORY SCAPES" at Bethanien Kunstquartier Berlin in 2020. Through VR-Headsets viewers could face the evil beings dwelling in the bewitched Fairy Rings filled with absorbing Sound Design by Simon Winkler. For sound watch on YouTube.

MAY CONTAIN DRAGON BLOOD ­CONCEPT ART

WHAT'S WITH THE NAME?

Cards on the table: I LOVE FANTASY. Especially cloudy, creepy, grim worlds of bygone times, but EVERY sprout of fiction world building has a place in my nerd heart. (Yes, I play PEN&PAPER. Ambitiously and frequently.) Therefore I thought a LORT-warning to be considerate. But do not despair! Studying Communication Design taught me how to keep it plain and simple. Those of you who’ve used Photoshop know the temptation of glitter and Color Dodge, but that’s what I aim for: Nerdy, but neat Concept Art. Moreover it is important to me to avoid harmful or merely outdated stereotypes, but work on new narratives.

WHEN I AM NOT WORKING…

Good Question. Well, I am curious as hell. I'd learn Japanese (big otaku), prepare Onigiri or read about Chemistry and Biology, from which I draw a lot of inspiration for my designs. Though currently my favorite is I crying over programming this website. On my healthy days I go hiking, running or do gardening, on the others I go to loud concerts and smoky Berlin bars.

MY RANGE OF SERVICE

Keenly I’d take a dare with any challenge but I specialise in character and creature design as well as environment art for preproduction (set construction, marketing) or postproduction (vfx) for films. I usually paint digitally in 2d. In addition I provide illustrations for the Graphics or Prop department e.g. in-film advertisements, packages, historical posters, book pages, etc..

QUALIFICATION

From 2016 – 2020 I studied Communication Design at the HTW in Berlin. Aside from illustration skills I gained groundwork knowledge in typography, poster creation, editorial and brand design.

In 2019 I made it into the Art Department of “The Queen’s Gambit” Netflix series as Concept Art Intern working with Production Designer Uli Hanisch and his sweet, talented fellows. The Netflix series won an

Art Directors Guild Award and an Emmy Award for Production Design.

2020: Directly after my graduation I was part of the 4th season of the Babylon Berlin series.

2021/22: The Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" Working on the Worldbuilding of the Hunger-Games-Cosmos made me addicted.

2023: Mother Mary an A24 Production with Anne Hathawy and Michaela Coel that will air in 2025

2023: Art Direction for Modernismus VI & VII "
