I was born in 1988 at Kiel between the seas and bogs of northern Germany and these eerie landscapes have had a great influence on me since my childhood. I started drawing at a very young age, back then with the cheerful, friendly motifs that are so often found in children's art. But even then I started to think up scary stories and tell them to myself. A few years ago, I finally fulfilled my dream and successfully completed a degree in illustration. Since then I have been working as a freelance illustrator, but of course I also work on many of my own projects.

If I had to describe my art in a few words, I would say the following: my illustrations all radiate an aura of unease, a feeling of ‘something is not right here’. A horror that lurks in small details and becomes more intense the longer you look at them. I deliberately leave the viewer room for their own interpretations and I also deliberately don't want to commit myself to whether my characters are good or evil, living humans or undead.

My drawing style is very much inspired by the kind of old photographs - which for me personally has always had something eerie about them, and not just because of the effects that oxidation or moisture can cause. The strong contrasts between light and dark, the gloomy monochrome colors - all this perhaps reflects the misty bogs and coasts of my home region. But also my love for history, archaeology, psychology and thanatology, the melancholy beauty of abandoned houses and cemeteries, even my catholic faith, all of this can be found again and again in my works.
