About Me

"I'm a digital artist. No brush, no paint, no pen. With my mouse, my computer… and a little help from Adobe Illustrator©, I try to tell strange stories and freaky tales, where people can loose themselves like I loose myself, sitting alone at dark in front of my computer, drawing, sampling, looping and editing what's in the tortured brain of the sick teenager I was and will always remain. Like a popstar whose striking good songs touch your heart and haunt your mind, I try to share my wildest dreams and my deepest fears. No rule, no key or theory to understand/explain my work. What You See Is What You Get: emotion."Parisian visual artist and writer Chris von Steiner works and lives in Brussels. He has published two novels in France and one in USA in a collection assembled by Dennis Cooper. He uses his fantaisies, dreams and desires to create a digital nightmare of teenage fancies and bizarre fetishes tales. His digital paintings have been shown through Europe and USA.
