The witch trials were never about witches.

"Dreams of Japan E.1"-ORIGINAL ART
€450.00

15 × 10 cm
Ink on paper
No AI, Just human hands and human thoughts

One of one. No copies. No second chances.

This piece sits somewhere between silence and noise — a narrow street, a quiet moment, something slightly off.

I’ve been drawn to Japan since I was a kid. Not in a romanticized way, but in that strange tension it holds — hyper-modern, almost dystopian cityscapes colliding with deep-rooted tradition and ritual. That contrast keeps feeding my work.

This is part of that obsession.

I know, soon, it will get me there.

Transparency:
I, as the Artist will earn around 400€ from selling this item

"Natur im Kopf" Framed Poster
€99.99

“Nature in mind”

I invite you to let your mind wander to the greatest source of relaxation, creativity and spirituality - nature. Even if we are boxed up in grey cubes, deprived of daylight, there is one thing to help heal the scars of modern life.
Smell the forest, feel the plants, see the light shine through green leaves and become one with the planet you are standing on.
Remember to be human.
