Welcome dear visitor to the official homepage of the artist Carsten John

I am an artist who uses Fotografiks as a means of expression. I am a self-taught artist.

The main theme of my work is esteem. I approache this main theme with different subtopics and different styles.

For my work on cardboard, I have chosen a comic style to match the medium. I try to take the viewer into possible parallel realities and I want to show him alternatives.

On the other hand, I chose an abstract figurative style for my works on canvas. In this way, I would like to invite the viewer to deal with the chosen subtopic in a thoughtful way and to draw his own conclusions from the questions and statements presented.

Through these different approaches I try to show that prosocial and egoistic tendencies of humans are to be reconciled with one another by way of esteeming behavior.
