My Artbooks: A Playful Universe

For me, an artbook is a personal sanctuary without boundaries—and honestly, a bit of a brain-dumping ground. It is a physical space where I channel my racing thoughts and wild, surreal ideas directly from my mind onto paper, cardboard, wood, plastic, or whatever random material I happen to lay my hands on.


On these pages, I watch entirely new universes come to life.


This is my ultimate experimental playground. It is a place where I test fresh techniques, discover alternative ways of making things, and embrace the joy of pure, uninhibited creation. Think of it as a sketchbook on steroids; a tool, a chaotic catalogue for ideas, and a reference work that I can dig into at any given time to resurrect past art projects.


Inside My Playful World

My artbooks are my private, playful universes defined by absolute freedom and raw texture. I firmly believe there are no mistakes or rigid guidelines holding my creativity back—mostly because I refuse to let them in.


I absolutely love working with distressed paper, used cardboard, unloved and forgotten books, and all kinds of recycled materials. I find deep inspiration in repurposing and breathing new life into materials that the rest of the world has thrown away. To be completely honest, brand-new, fine, white paper actually terrifies me. It is just so pristine, crisp, and perfect that I immediately get stage fright, knowing that whatever I do, I am inevitably going to ruin it.


This process acts as my ultimate release valve for chaotic thoughts and a dangerously raw imagination. Here, I can dive fearlessly into unknown materials because, to me, this is about pure, joyful play. And sometimes, I might actually share this chaotic world with you in my artbook. But only sometimes...
