Stephan blends acrylic painting, plasticine sculpting and digital art to create oddball figures who stumble through hyperreal worlds with a humming clumsiness. 

It’s his miniature theatre, staging a sharp blend of black comedy meets slapstick.

After graduating from art university with what he calls “sad little black and white paintings,” Stephan shifted direction, asking himself: why not communicate life’s complexities with humour? He soon began creating layered watercolour illustrations, before turning to Blender to hone his skills in 3D.

By subjecting his characters to the messy, real-world laws of physics, Stephan’s focus on lifelike movement turns a mirror on our own flaws. But the goal isn’t just realism – it’s to “make people chuckle.” No wonder his dream is to build a theme park with his world of characters. Our advice? Strap in for the ride.
