About the Artist

Mothmeister is the nonstop morphing alter ego of two artistic soulmates based in Belgium, home of surrealism. Through their eerie, imaginary post-mortem fairy tales they portray a series of masked, grotesque characters – often accompanied by stuffed animals and a variety of curiosa from their private collection. Similar to the Victorian era when dead dear loved ones were photographed as a memento mori for the relatives, Mothmeister immortalizes animals in a dark and dystopian fairytale world.

“Payback Time, Bloody Berlin Butcher”: Art doesn’t need explanation. It just happens. And evokes whatever it evokes.
