For as long as I can remember, I have been writing stories and poems. I love music, art, film, and poetry and I have always enjoyed reading—both fiction and non-fiction, as well as hundreds of comics and graphic novels. The power of visual storytelling has always fascinated me.
One day, I participated in an exhibition where I was assigned the theme “Decals, Insignia…” I researched the words and their literal meanings. “Decals” refers to transferring, tracing, and copying, while “Insignia” signifies signing and marking. Since I often sign with the first letter of my name, this became the figure through which I started an alternative biography.
Below, you’ll find a selection of images from A Shadowgraphic History—I’m curious to hear what you see in them!

Although I am a writer, I find it fascinating to tell stories without words—except for the occasional subtitle, which I enjoy playing with to add an extra layer. Sometimes, a subtle hint shifts an interpretation in an entirely new direction.

Each page revolves around an idea and consists of either a single panel or a sequence of images with cryptic references, allowing the story to unfold purely visually. At times, the R is nowhere to be seen in the drawing, leading one to assume that he might also be among the viewers, a silent observer.
When I am in a “flow,” ideas can keep bubbling up for days—sometimes weeks. I store them as sketches in notebooks, which I later refine into finished pieces. Over time, natural series emerge, such as those centered around thought balloons, the cosmos, or clouds—motifs that keep recurring, giving the story an organic coherence.
