alias Gideon
“In the creative process of drawing our dreams and visions become a tangible part of the world, no matter if the paper they were drawn on is thrown away or locked in a drawer. At the age of three in a small village in Ausria I began my journey with a piece of chalk I found on the floor. The door of expression that was opened was impossible to close again, and I’m excited for all the opportunities given to me, as well as the ones I create for myself.”
The Vision
“Working as a creator is a lot of fun, but to me the beauty of art is the focus it demands of you. Each day a thousand tiny beautiful details will reveal themselves if we are open to listen and be inspired, and the memories we create feel real. In my life - be it through a conversation or a fascinating piece of art - I was reminded many times to keep looking for the beauty in the world, and I strive to remind others to do so as well.
My approach to storytelling aims to transform complex real world issues into engaging narratives. By showing multiple perspectives the experience feels satisfyingly grounded despite the fantasy setting. When challenging ideas are incorporated into an optimistic story the work leaves a lasting impression on the viewer that is enjoyed again and again.”
