The visual musings of designer Ruben Fischer are a refreshing way to start the week. Ambiguous, happy and vibrant, these digital paintings clutter Ruben’s website like friendly windows of colour. We last featured his work back in March after being heralded as creative director of Hort Eike König’s new protégé. Still the apple of his eye, it feels as though Ruben is still experimenting with different techniques and these sketches are a glimpse into his abstract-shaped mind. The creative recently showed his work at the end of year show held at art and design school HfG Offenbach so surely it’s only a matter of time before we start seeing reams of professional work.
