This Nature, Traditional and Photo Illustrator, Ralf Kunstmann is one of-a-kind in his fields. Looking through his ever-growing artistic online portfolio, you can see where Ralf stands out from some of the other illustrators.

Born and raised in Nuremburg, Germany, he broke out into the freelance world in’91, to pursue the design dream. He is now a member of the Association of Art in Erlangen and a member of the German Designers Alliance.

For most of his years as a freelancer, Ralf has managed to specialise in certain areas with his work. This includes airbrushing mix-techniques, photorealism and painting fine colour shades.

Ralf still believes this is an ongoing process that should be learnt more than once as people tend to forget that the design world is ever growing and someone, somewhere always develops a new way of designing.

Ralf decided to get into Abstract and developed his use of a putty knife in 2003. These styles hold much popularity with the public as they have no problems understanding what is being represented with the design features.

Now, Ralf has managed to develop a diverse form of photorealism, when he combines photography and painting together. These techniques can be quite tricky to master, as both types of skill must blend with one another or it just won’t look right. This needs direct attention to detail at all times when trying to create a design from these techniques.

Ralf enjoys spending as much time as possible at his computer developing these techniques and skills even further. But he does not think he will be able to design and illustrate from pencil to paper as he decided to go digital from’98. This has helped him master all the talent he possesses to date.

Clients from all over the world have had a Ralf Kunstmann design, including Audi, Hoerzu, Zentis, Stern, Messe Muenchen and many, many more.
