In September 2016 I finished my studies in Communication Design in Cologne. I work as a freelance artist and designer, whereby my main focus definitely is on illustration. I mix both of traditional ways of art with digital painting. Besides I constant show my personal projects and art on various exhibitions and conventions. All the work shown here was greated by me - if a project was team-based, it´ll be mentioned on the depending page.
