“Zkauba”
"Zkauba" was created in April 2010 with "Painter"
(Metacreations) and Photoshop(Adobe, based on three
photos of nano structures taken from an electron microscope.

The title “Zkauba” was taken from H.P. Lovecraft. Layering and coloring, but this time varying the size
of the layers in order to get structures looking like figures, heads and so on, not painting, but adjusting
everything by hand so to speak. In general I always try to preserve the looks of of nano imagery,
which is my philosophy concerning this task. Staying as close as possible to the material and getting
away as much as possible is the real challenge in terms of creativity to me, otherwise the term "NanoArt"
wouldn't make sense to me.
