5. Planet Vivid Represents Playfulness and Struggle for Life

Due to the colors, composition, spontaneity combined with simplistic shapes and a sophisticated sense of humor the artwork of Planet Vivid represents on the one hand playful images and create a feeling of joy. On the other hand our intention is to also show the tough and grown up part of life and not to only create an idealistic world based on child fantasy. Images around the struggle for life are created in a social and urban context. The figurative work may seem tragic and comic at the same time, whereas the comic side partially creates a sense of uneasiness.
