There are moments in my work after I virtually must pinch myself after I realise that sure, I actually am there, being a part of that mission or collaborating in that occasion.
This was the case just lately in the course of the launch of PARADOXE, the brand new PRADA fragrance, the place I used to be commissioned to attract the friends as fast trend sketches.
The venue of this occasion was spectacular and completely matched PRADA’s id. The reality is that after I acquired the handle the place the occasion was going to happen I requested myself “Raketenstation? A missile station? I did not know this fabulous place. If you do not know it, search for Raketenstation Insel Hombroich.
The constructing through which our occasion happened was the Home for Musicians, designed by the Austrian architect Raimund Abraham. Spectacular. Like a spaceship standing in the midst of the countryside. Particularly after we left it, already at night time, illuminated within the colors of the home: pale pink and inexperienced.
Upstairs was the celebration and under, like a treasure in its crypt, was the fragrance. The sensations. The bottle, the scent, and my workplace for that night time. I sketched reside among the friends whereas others waited for his or her flip or simply watched delighted. It clearly amazes and entertains folks to see how a determine takes type on a white paper, from begin to starting. It occurs to me after I watch different illustrators at work and I see it within the faces of the folks invited to the PR occasions the place I work. They report it seems to be calmed and hypnotizing, an enormous distinction to the fast battle that is happening inside me whereas I draw. Fascinating.
Thanks, PRADA.
