Portfolio

A selection of my work: black & grey realism, small realism, portraits and animal motifs. Every piece is a custom design – composed for the idea, the story and the anatomy of the person who wears it.

Portrait of Zeus Black & grey realism, forearm A portrait in the style of a marble sculpture: soft grey washes and carefully placed highlights give the beard and face depth. The composition follows the length of the forearm.
Lion with crown Black & grey realism, upper arm High-contrast black & grey realism: the crown adds a graphic accent while the mane fades into the skin with fine shading. Designed for the curve of the upper arm.
Tiger with clockwork Black & grey realism with a colour accent, shoulder Realism meets mechanics: gears and leaves frame the tiger’s face, with a turquoise eye as the only colour accent. The elements follow the shape of the shoulder.
Owl with pocket watch Black & grey realism with a colour accent, upper arm An owl and a pocket watch as symbols of wisdom and time. The orange eye draws the gaze, while the plumage is worked in soft shades of grey.
Cat in a triangle Small realism, forearm Small realism with a geometric frame: a cat portrait held by a fine triangle. A small format, yet every strand of fur is worked out.
Tiger breaking through the skin Black & grey realism with a colour accent, forearm A torn-skin effect creates depth: the tiger seems to break out of the arm. The blue eye is a deliberate colour contrast.
Lion on the chest Black & grey realism with a colour accent, chest A lion portrait that follows the anatomy of the chest: the mane follows the pectoral muscle, and the blue eyes add a calm colour accent.
Skull with gothic ornament Realism with ornament, upper arm A black & grey realism skull set in a gothic ornament like a church window. The symmetry of the ornament gives the piece calm and structure.
Golden retriever portrait Colour realism, forearm A colour-realistic pet portrait from a photo: the texture of the fur, the light in the eyes and the blue bandana make the dog unmistakable.
Realistic eye Black & grey realism, upper arm A realistic eye with clouds: reflections in the iris and the finest transitions in the skin show how much detail fits on a small surface.
