    I love the lightning and your detailed work. How long did you work on this? Guess a year?

    Detailed in the front, subtle in the background, photographic quality, yet these trees in the background are kinda surreal. A very very nice piece! Good work, I’d love to see it in real.

    I really love this one. It´s very poetic - the clean objektivity, the composition, the detailed drawing - there´s so much in between, I can hardly put it into words. An Extraordinary work!

    I worked on this picture for 2 or 3 month without interruption. To me it is important to find a balance between 3D plasticity and a 2D pattern, which keeps the picture together. And I personally also like it if there is some kind of meaning in the picture. In this picture it is the tension between anonymous war and the way people take care of the dead. (even if they are anonymous).
