Flo was one of five fantastic guys who came met in our portfolio semesters in the VON ERLENBACH KUNSTSCHULE. The special feature for us was that he came from the same village, from Erlenbach. And he had the same background like Michael himself,, because Florian comes from a respected winery family.
First, the goal for Flo was clearly an application for a place for communication design. Interestingly, his work developed but increasingly picturesque, without us having particularly bumped him on it. This expression, which he created with his work was characterized by a great dynamism and was very individually shaped and continue, interspersed in the picturesque expressiveness from its original target for visual communication, especially of typography. This was the beginning of the time an almost complete, picturesque formulated alphabet, which was also the entrance for his first application to the HGB Leipzig.
We were finally not entirely convinced that communication design should remain his first choice and advised him definitely an application in Dusseldorf and other cities to venture of Fine Arts. And in recent days, he informed us that he has applied in Stuttgart for painting and was invited to the exam. THAT’S RIGHT!!! Now we keep our fingers crossed that this works.

Every now and then we come to Stuttgart in our old study environment and discover there also always new and exciting exhibitions or visit our former colleagues from our studies. This often makes us happy,especially if we can meet not just one person, but like a group of people and old friends. So we were glad to speak to Stefan Bombaci, Peter Holl and Anna Ingerfurth again after a long time and to see their new works. We are all grown older but the Art work has lost none of its luster, quite the opposite.
You can also see more Art work on their website

Milena continued her first visit of our portfolio preparation in 2014 with her inscription to the semester courses in 2015-2016 and we were really happy to have her here again. She almost spent a year in Istanbul, where she didm`t only develop her skills in drawing and painting, but also reflecting her life, making experiences with new forms of expressions, getting to know many different people and so coming back with a huge package of good ideas and humor. It was clear that she will apply for an Academy in Istanbul as well, but her first try in 2016 brought the opportunity to study in Maastricht, where she succeed by her first attempt. The same with Düsseldorf at first try. Now, everything seems to be easier and we are looking forward to the applications all around Europe she is planing – and for istanbul:
With her new portfolio she extended her expression in drawing and painting to another level even that she has had to fight hard for it in the beginning. She wanted to continue her work from a year ago and too many things had happened, so this didm`t work at all. Now she got to find a new way and, while fighting for it, she made it and extended her skills, her expressions, her ideas, just everything, lightly, intensive, good.
We wer so pleased to have her here again and we will be happy any time she passes by.

YaYa gave us her feedback in Chinese, although she comes from Taiwan. We unfortunately do not understand neither Chinese nor Taiwanese and we hope that for those of you who understand the language, will like to get to know us.
YaYa lived a few years in London, where she already had finished studying goldsmith before she came to us to prepare for studying painting. It was a great joy to work with her, she had rare bad mood and always found a reason to make the best of the day. And this was always painting, painting, drawing and painting again. She made a very, very good and continuous work, even, when other colleagues were taking a rest.

Janni already knew quite early what to expect from our course and how they wanted to prepare with our support to the applications to the universities. And we were very happy that we had a very confident participant who challenged us with a concrete vision on the chosen degree program. In the end it worked out well for both sides. We have made a little video with Janni in summarizing the time with us, but look and listen for yourself. On our Youtube channel ART SCHOOL BERLIN, where you can find many other interesting videos.
