Interview:
Why did you choose to enter this work?
This series has been a creation during the COVID pandemic of 2022 / and during my mental breakdown — a personal work which tied into the single commissioned work I did during 2020–2022.
What’s your favourite thing about your shortlisted project?
During the creation, I have been reflecting the voices of my surroundings and of myself — a small epos in a series of three pieces.
A visual storytelling, that everyone could resonate with.
What excites you most about being shortlisted?
It's a big honor to be part of the world greatest artists and illustrators in the industry. I'd like to learn more from others — and also love to share and inspire everyone!
Where do you usually work?
In the past 4 months, I moved to a new city "Düsseldorf"— working on a daily basis in a Café-Workspace, while looking for a nice shared studio space.
How long did it take to complete your project?
It took me all in all half a year. In general I'd would wrap this kind of work in 2 weeks, but it felt like 2 years — because find your visual voice, isn't a piece of cake :)
What is your dream commission?
I guess, being a guest illustrator for Pokémon Trading Cards.
Would also love to collab with Nike in some way — I'm really into sports :)
What’s your favourite thing to draw?
Abstract shapes, and random objects and figures.
What is your best tip for other illustrators?
Be patient, and touch some grass if you stuck in your head somewhere.
What are your plans for the future?
To grow as an artist and to create a name in the industry and space, one day :)
