Drawing is my language and a way for me to connect with people

Born in Papua New Guinea, Tobias now lives in Switzerland. He creates abstract drawings reflecting what he experiences, think, and believes.

Introduce yourself in one sentence? Play, breathe, dream, zoom.

What does your work mean to you? Drawing is my language and a way for me to connect with people.

What is your little secret to get inspiration? Limitation. I try to set rules, within which I discover all possibilities. With this method, I aim to find the unexpected.

Name your biggest influence? Silence. 

What would be the name of your boat if you had one? FAKE ART.

What did you want to do when you were a kid? Play with mud, jump in rivers and discover the underwater-world.

"curiosity, music, nature, life"
