About

++++ biographie

s-t-e-p-h is a contemporary artist and illustrator currently based in Berlin. His background as a nonprofessional skateboarder drew him into professional art & illustration. He studied visual communication and illustration at the department of fine arts, University of Applied Sciences, Trier (Germany). He takes inspiration from his surroundings, urban culture, travelling and from his love for skateboarding and reflects a mix between youth culture and religion. Current issues in his work deal with a dialog between restriction and progression.
