In the style of old engravers and carvers, my style in the area of printmaking techniques such as copper engraving, lithography, woodcut and etching can also be classified. Perhaps this tendency is derived from the fact that I originally come from near the Dürer City of Nuremberg, where medieval prints and representations have a very strong influence on artistic socialization.

I implement dimensionality, surface, light and shadow through condensing hatches and shaping lines instead of shading and color gradations. In doing so, I try not just to copy very old prints, but to translate the style into the present day and adapt it to the shapes of the human body. Since I still love to draw my designs analogously on paper using all available materials and techniques, I also try to imitate brush strokes, charcoal pencils, etc. in tattoos. Most of my designs are in the realm of representational and naturalistic. But I also accept every trustful challenge to broaden my perspective. Cover-ups and blast-overs are also welcome!
