My name is Fabian von Spreckelsen and I am a German artist based in Maastricht, the Netherlands. Already as a kid I had a deep fascination for nature handed down from my father: as biologist he guided me to the discovery of the enchanting world of living organism.

Since then, the relation and interaction between a constructed surrounding and the just uncultivated nature drives my interest. I am fascinated by the ties between us humans and the natural structures around and I interpret in my work continuously nature as powerful asking for respect rather than asking for protection.

This results in a work drawing the power lines of flora and fauna into abstract geometries with both strength and beauty of wildlife in its simplest form, sometimes abstracted to the edge of recognition. The lines in my work are clear-cut and simplified, my hand-crafted approach creates unique pieces with a specific personality, the diversity of my works reflects the variety in nature. I aim for a fine balance between arithmetic designer, working craftsman and environmentally engaged artist.
