Sketch

As a preparatory step, the process begins with sketching the decor. Adding colors. This is the manual part. Once the client is satisfied, it’s onto the next step.

Model

Sometimes the project requires a modell but not always. The next step is scenography, where I am on-site and oversee the entire project. Visiting workshops, carpenters, painters, and others involved in the project to ensure that everything progresses as it should.

CONCEPT

In the realm of design and art, concepts act as the fundamental ideas or themes that steer the development and understanding of visual creations. They offer a structure for artists and designers to articulate their visions, convey meanings, and stir emotions through their artistic endeavors.

ANIMATION

When I was still living with my parents, I built a string puppet theatre. I wrote the script and then made the sets and puppets. My friends and family were the first spectators of my performances. So there was already a need to tell stories. This time they didn’t have to be funny, they had to be exciting. I was discovering a new way of telling stories.

I then moved on to the next stage, making animated puppet films. A whole new world opened up for me.

Film and theatre sets followed almost logically.
