The artist was kind enough to describe the creative process behind his work: “An idea can pop up in different ways. Sometimes it’s the shape of the banana that inspires me, like with my version of Klimt’s ‘The Kiss’. I saw two bananas in the supermarket, one bigger than the other and it just reminded me of that wonderful painting. That both the banana and the painting are yellow must have helped too. I then usually sketch out the idea, just pen and paper doodles. Sometimes I would also take a photo of the banana I want to draw on and open the photo in Photoshop to sketch out the idea there to get the composition right before I start drawing on the actual banana. Because when I draw on the banana, it has to be all right in one go, I can’t use an eraser to fix things.”Stephan added: “But when I’m doing banana art for an event I get requests and don’t have the time to do all that. So then I just start and hope for the best!”

Lastly, we were curious which of the bananas Stephan created is his personal favorite. The artist told us: “I have 3 or 4 personal favorites, it depends on the day which one I will pick as an answer to this question. Today it’s ‘The Creation of Adam’ after Michelangelo’s masterpiece. The reasons are more than one. It’s one out of the first batch of banana art pieces I made after I started cutting away pieces of the peel. It perfectly combines my faith and love of art and creativity. For me it captures the moment not only of the creation of mankind but also the moment the Creator passes on the ability to create, to be creative.”
