„AlpineWave”

Chris, 27, is an American who lives in Austria and works in Switzerland as a software developer. As a part-time artist, he enjoys pen and ink illustration, vector graphics, pixel art, watercolor, acrylic, and photography. His current works combine illustrated or vector graphics of mountains, trees, stars, moons, suns, auroras, northern lights, some industrial structures, and combines them with actual self-shot sunset or late night photos (also known as "blue hour" photos). He frequently creates relatively dark prints carefully accented with pastels and/or neon colors.
Some of his prints depict well-known alpine scenes and/or additional science fiction elements which he turns into a final product of low color-count prints - prints which are ideal for clean silk screen or giclée prints. His works sometimes include allegory, metaphors, and social commentary on environmental and climate change issues which stand as a contrast to the mountainous and natural areas his prints depict. He draws inspiration from the prints of the Japanese woodblock masters, Works Progress Administration (WPA) art prints from the United States, select American illustrators and digital artists, and Vaporwave art (1990s influenced neon colored art).
While his posters are currently printed by external companies, Chris hopes one day to operate his own personal print studio.
