[SD] Yes, actually my oldest work was more geometrical. I was working more with simple shapes. Moving from Paris to Berlin after graduation in 2012 was a whole new vision: new architecture, new friends, the techno scene … I then started to experiment with my style. In the beginning, it was a lot about what I would see. It slowly became more about what I felt, emotions, sensations. I tried to get deeper into myself.

[SD] Yes, and another part of it is, that I was getting more comfortable with my tool, Illustrator. There are so many new functions in Illustrator which I’m using now and I wasn’t using before … And then, my approach of not necessarily having an idea what’s going to come out.

[SD] I never have a specific idea in the beginning, I just have to start. And it takes time! Sometimes nothing works out—you never know what’s going to happen. Eventually there’s something weird that pops up and I think: okay, cool, there’s a direction to follow! I then continue to play with that.

SD It’s certainly harder to finish without a deadline. I feel like there’s something that happens in your head. You have to know the way you work and how you can play with the element of time.

[SD] Exactly.

[SD] I try to create compositions that are balanced. The moment when the piece is finished, I feel like, there is a certain energy flowing between the things that it consists of. For me, this energy is related to the universe, to gravity, how the planets are interacting, the solar system, the galaxies and so on. It’s about being connected to everything. The thought of that grounds me in a way.

[SD] Animation would add a new dimension to my work. I’d like to make scenography or immersive experiences, and think about how to use a three-dimensional space. I’d love to learn 3D as well ·
