My work is appealing to those who still maintain a connection to their childhood. A style which unifies illustration, painting, comics and design is developed through music and rebirth of DIY culture but also from mid century illustrations and street art. I guess the inspiration comes mostly from the good vibes, memories and old books. Through playful “storyboards” you will find the core of my deceptively simple, narrative and funny imagery. My painting does not only express the escape from reality but also explores human condition, experiences and personal views.
