Her style is a small group of German-speaking artists assigned, since the 1990s, the established form in the comics questions and adding their own, radical designs.

The artist was in 2008 with the "Max and Moritz Prize of the International Comic Salon Erlangen, the highest honor of German-language comic art.
your images represent a strong narrative approach, show multi-layered conflicts with the female body: growth, reproduction, birth, surreal abstractions of strangeness in one's own. That is what is access. The drawings are so oppressive intensity that they tell multiple stories with a picture of an absurd and familiar world, which could be verbalized speak volumes.

Stefano Ricci, born in 1966 in Bologna, Italy, lives and works in Hamburg.
In his drawings, it is largely unnecessary illustrations, in the comics is the image itself is always at the center of the work. In image sequences of different lengths it shows people and animals in just indicated spaces, mostly in black and white and shades. Due to the reduced objective Representation with surreal effects, creates an atmosphere, more conversions and tear than telling stories. This uncertainty will still allow the viewer to subjective interpretation. The focus of his work puts Ricci on the process as such. It documents the process of drawing closer to the course of work. In the working phase diagrams are not from a known result of a specific, desired shape separately, but drawn directly on the final paper. This draft will be questioned, painted over, sometimes deleted.
Ricci works with various materials and the resulting overlapping layers of visibility suggest a condensed Real-time. The deposition: a sensual as well as intellectual drawing referral.
