DIN A2 Collector Series Collector's Portfolio

Collector Series Portfolio

The Collector Series Portfolio combines all six works of this collection in one set.
A special edition for collectors who want to own the entire series together.

Emperor-Artist-Warrior

Technique:
Extremely fine ink work on A4, executed with a very fine pen. Delicate lines and precise details combine with collage elements to form a complex composition. The deliberate use of cool blue gives the work a clear, almost analytical effect – like a visual blueprint of inner structures.

Motif:
Three striking faces interlock like puzzle pieces of a complex identity. Each face represents one of the three archetypal roles in human history:

• The Artist – symbolizes creative power, reflection, and a sensitive view of the world.
• The Emperor – stands for sovereignty, leadership, and the burden of responsibility.
• The Warrior – embodies determination, protection, and archaic strength.

Meaning & Impact:
The work is a visual exploration of humanity's inner forces. It questions how creation, power, and struggle can coexist in balance. Through its technical precision and symbolic depth, the drawing invites the viewer to self-analysis and acts as a mirror of one's own inner structure. The deliberate use of collage elements and the clear, cool blue color make the image appear like a blueprint of the soul. It asks how these three poles – creation, power, and struggle – can remain in balance within each of us. A work that captivates through its technical perfection and invites the viewer to self-analysis. 

The Intellectual Lab (The Artist)

This portrait, whose features are unmistakably reminiscent of Woody Allen, is a profound metaphor for the creative process. The artist points his finger directly at the viewer – an invitation and a reminder that we are all, at our core, creators and artists of our own lives.

The Red King

A play on the absurdity of power and time. Inspired by Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland," this work depicts the king with an enormous head and a tiny crown. It is an homage to Carroll's surreal literary world and celebrates the "creative madness" that creates new truths beyond logic.

The Industrial Sage (The Guardian of the Ember)

A wise orangutan in dialogue with a man whose top hat functions as a smoking factory chimney. Description: A surreal symbiosis of nature and industrial burden. While man wears the chimney of progress on his head, the orangutan gazes at us with the silent wisdom of the primeval forests. A call for reconciliation between technological development and the protection of the primal.

Patron Of Souls (Francis of Assisi)

The spiritual heart of the gallery. The patron saint of animals, depicted in the finest lines. A work about the deep connection between man and nature, where the blue bird of freedom springs directly from consciousness. It embodies empathy as the highest form of intelligence.

Keeper of The Silence (Gravedigger)

A work about finiteness and the light in darkness. A man with a bowler hat works in the glow of his lamp on the remnants of the past. A reminder that material things pass, but the essence (the light) remains.
