"Berlin What? BOOK

I am thrilled to have my drawings featured in the book "Berlin
 What? _ 102 Contemporary artists," produced by 

Neonchocolate Gallery.

Many thanks to Uwe Neu and Oliver Thoben, the curators of the gallery in Berlin, for including my work in this fantastic compilation. The book offers a personal snapshot of artists that they feel represent the Berlin art scene, showcasing the work of both established and up-and-coming contemporary artists based in Berlin.

It's worth noting that "Berlin What? _ 102 Contemporary artist" has received high praise from various publications, including INTERVIEW and Vogue magazine Germany.

Meyoko for Volume Magazine UK & WME Entertainment

Following my publication in Volume Magazine UK in 2009, I was contacted by a representative from WME Entertainment Agency to create an album cover inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy. 

To be honest, it felt a bit strange at first. I didn’t quite feel a strong connection to the project, but I pushed forward, giving my best to bring the concept to life.

Ars longa, vita brevis ... Life is short

LODOWN 73 (Germany)

It's incredible to reflect on how much my life has changed in the past year. I vividly recall flipping through a copy of Lodown Magazine in Berlin, thinking my work would never grace its pages. 

However, a few months ago, I stumbled upon a particular email I had previously ignored. To my surprise, it was from Lodown, expressing interest in publishing my work in their upcoming issue LODOWN 73 the same issue I had been admiring just months before.

The shock was overwhelming, and I couldn't sleep. Eventually, I mustered the courage to respond, and I had the pleasure of speaking with Sven, one of the last individuals in the world with genuine manners and kindness. Thank you, Sven!

Lodown Magazine is a pioneer in mainstream culture, renowned for its progressive and layered content that delivers key influences with a timeless quality. It's pop, colorful, cool, coded, and fast - truly representing the future. I am humbled and thrilled to have the opportunity to be featured in such a remarkable publication, and I know that Lodown readers will adore the work I have created.

Kult magazine: the Fortune issue

I just picked up the latest issue of Kult magazine, it's beautiful as always. I have a drawing inside called Andromeda for the theme fortune even if my inspiration wasn't exactly this kind of fortune.

Founded in 2009, Kult Studio & Gallery is a dynamic creative studio that specializes in conceptualizing, curating, and executing interactive experiences that seamlessly blend art, design, and technology.

At The Studio, they provide innovative solutions tailored to meet every need—whether through events, exhibitions, social media campaigns, or gamification. Whatever the project, Kult has the expertise to make it happen in the most engaging way.

The Gallery is where their passion for connecting with artists from around the world comes to life. It’s a space dedicated to showcasing bold, inspiring exhibitions that challenge, provoke, and captivate audiences, making it a hub for cutting-edge creativity.

Does Fortune mean Chance or Wealth? Are they connected? We ask you. In an attempt to analyse what Fortune means in different customs and cultures, we have invited 40 international artists to portray their vision of Fortune.

The world is full of wealth and poverty, all with their common pursuit of wealth. Be it in the ostentatious sense or in a spiritual sense, we all believe fortune can be good and bad. From superstitions and horoscopes to gambling on the stock exchange, fortune touches our lives everyday, whether we are in control or not. When there is good luck, there must surely be bad luck. Some don’t believe in luck or chance, but they can’t deny fortune.
