My very first Artworks of Moses, who parts the sea and thereby floods London’s Gate Bridge – don’t despise the day of small beginnings.
Even though these kind of artworks do not exactly represent the commercial value of my client work in general, they where the stepping stones for me to dive deeper into digital artwork and expressing complex creative ideas in a digital painting.
Let’s honor our first timid steps into the pathway of our professional destiny. Let’s showcase where it all started and thereby showing the way that we had to master in order to become what we are today.
‘Moses splits the sea’ is an artwork that was created 2014. Moses is me with a rope and a stick 🙂 The rest of the artwork has been added digitally via Photoshop retouching. All the implemented pictures were hand picked and manually cut out in order to recompose them into this supernatural environment. There is a video on youtube which shows the creation process in time lapse. This artwork became pretty popular on the internet and even made into living rooms and on book covers – with or without me knowing it. Well, as Austin Kleon mentions it in his book ‘Steal like an artist’ If people copy your work it means your work isn’t so bad after all. 🙂
‘Apocalypse London’ has been created in 2012 during a class when I was still studying communication design in Berlin. It was one of those moments when you realize: ‘This is freaking cool, I think I found my profession’.
‘Ancient town’. Many looong hours of work went into this artwork in 2013 in order to find all the little details in the footage that make this image vivid and beautiful and to tell the story of an ancient fantasy town on massive rocks. Framed with an ancient tree that helps the viewer focus on the beautiful city. Back then I discovered the advantages of using color looks and gradients to bring the image more to life. This art work has been published twice in “Practical Photoshop” and “digitalPhoto Photoshop” in 2013 and 2017 which was an astounding honor for me.
‘Book of fairytales’ from 2012 has not been published anywhere – However, I just love it so much! 🙂
