The saving angel.

I always make my works from a certain point of view, I think and always have ideas. I then try to work this out, and find the right elements together. Every detail, no matter how small, is applied separately. My works can sometimes consist of hundreds of different details that are applied separately.

I do not use AI programs in my works and can sometimes spend days on a work to make it as good as possible to perfection. Everything has to be right, colours, lighting and details.

Despite my works often being surrealistic, it must have a realistic appearance, as if a photo was taken of it.

My works are unique and not available anywhere else, and are made in very high resolution so that my works can always be printed sharply on any material and any size.

I always try to realize real eye-catchers that are worked out down to the smallest details.

An angel (from Ancient Greek: ἄγγελος; ángelos, "messenger", translated from Hebrew: מלאך; mal'ach, "messenger", Arabic: ملاك; malak, Latin: angelus) is a supernatural, intellectual being, who is found in various (often monotheistic) religions. In Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and Zoroastrianism, angels, as servants or protectors of man, usually act as messengers from God (or the gods), from whom they are clearly distinguished, and possess superhuman abilities and attributes.

The term angel can be used both as the category to which various celestial beings, such as archangels, seraphs, cherubs and thrones, belong, as well as any of the lesser celestial beings belonging to this category - often equated with guardian angels. Judaism, Christianity and Islam assume that the number of angels is astronomical; the Bible speaks of tens of thousands times tens of thousands (Daniel 7:10), an expression meaning "innumerable." There is a certain order among the angels, but the number of orders and their names vary according to religion.
