The German artists creates his pieces using Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint and Blender (see our guide to digital art software). Below, he talks us through four examples of his work.

“‘The end of the stairway was just above the clouds, beyond your view. As soon as you broke through, it became clear how many steps remained.

“A poster design I did for our costumed drawing session. I did this without any specific style in mind; however, afterwards I wasn’t able to deny the Ghibli influence. Some art just has such a gravitation, you cannot run from it.”
