I create sober graphic artworks with a melancholy energy. Nature enthusiasts love my nature-themed art series HelvEdition. In the series Folia Mystica I use a hazardous, primitive printing technique to sublime the beauty of foliage. I’m working with mixed media, using traditional techniques as well as digital proceedings and I love photography, subliming my captures to create an unique atmosphere.

Folia Mystica by Ka L-O-K

folia mystica

Folia Mystica is inspired by an old manual printing technique, Gyotaku. In this serie I highlight the mystical subtleties of foliages. The rendering is irregular and imperfect and brings out the ethereal aspect. Hand-embellished double cards are available at the my shop-atelier. Each card is unique.

I love taking pictures …. I mostly shot pictures of my natural environments as well as structures and textures which I use as inspiration and reworked in new creations. By editing my captures I create pictures with melancholic atmospheres. Follow my instagram to see my newest images.

"Exquisite juxtaposition… young vibrant life emerging… older dead members of the clan laying nearby. Life and death… both valid entities with the spectrum and dusted in the pure snow.

"J’aime la liaison de l’animal et son environnement. Les couleurs et le mood me transfert une émotion variable. J’ai aussi plaisir à avoir un tableau de toi chez moi."

Gestern war ich wandern. Das war wundervoll. Hab ich schon ewig nicht mehr gemacht.... es tat mir gut, ganz bewusst über Felsen zu klettern, Seen zu umrunden, Wiesen zu durchschreiten, Wälder zu spüren, Moos zu riechen... ich hab mich nur aufgrund deiner Landschaftsbilder aufgerafft. Danke!!!
