About the Artist
Dirk started to draw when he was very young. Due to his love
for comics and fantasy films, he drew a lot of fantasy pictures.
But sometimes, even though he didn't like it as much, he drew
also
some buildings, flowers etc.
At school he developed his graphite drawings, and tried out all
kinds of other styles, for example watercolor paintings, but he
knew, graphite would always be his personal favorite.
Because of his work and his education, between the years 1992
and 2000 only very few pictures were finished. He didn't have
the time, nor could he concentrate on his art as much as he
would have liked to.
In 1996 Dirk began his Studies of Architecture in Hannover.
Within theses Studies there were offered some drawing and
painting courses, which he attended full of expectations. He
started drawing again, in his free time, too. Due to the Studies
of Architecture most of the Works were buildings, interior
designs and landscape drawings. In some of his Arts his Fantasy
Influences, which he still had, were placed into the drawings,
and some of his professors were confronted with some abnormal
drawings of buildings.
In these times there were some courses offered, where the
students could draw nude men and women, and it was then, when
Dirk started to realize, that pinup drawings combined with some
elements of fantasy, was the really right thing for him to do.
The fantasy in his mind and the esthetic bodies of beatuiful
women were just the right combination for Dirk. Some normal
pinups and some fantasy were finished at the end of his studies.
Now Dirk still tries out a lot of different styles and
compositions. He is eager to learn more and to perfect his own
style. Dirk never, except for the courses in his studies,
learned to draw professionally. Only his talent and his passion
for the art lets these amazing drawings come into being.
