About Human and Sea Digitale Illustrationsserie

„Human and Sea“ ist eine Serie digitaler Kunstillustrationen über die Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Meer. Die Illustrationen bedienen sich eines surrealen Stils und einer Montageform. Weibliche Figuren erscheinen inmitten von Fischen, Korallen und Algen – gemeinsam mit Abfällen, die im Wasser zurückgelassen wurden. Gewürdigt wird die Harmonie zwischen Mensch und Ozean, während die Verschmutzung und Zerstörung der Meere kritisiert werden. Jedes Bild wird auf einem Grafiktablett mit Software für digitale Malerei gezeichnet. Die Serie ist für Print- und Onlinemedien aufbereitet und verfolgt das Ziel, den Meeresschutz zu unterstützen.
