ABOUT

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finna Leibenguth lives, loves, collects and creates in Cologne / Germany. Her fascination for all kinds of materials is reflected by her commercial and personal work as a Freelance Illustrator and Graphic Designer. The basis for her illustrations is a constantly growing collection of various paper types, fabrics, stationery and home improvement store products. Her recognizeable style emerges from combining interesting surfaces and structures with drawn/painted elements and typography to colourful collages. She consciously utilizes the characteristics and imperfections of materials instead of polishing them to digital perfection.
