Stephan Dybus is a German Visual Artist and Illustrator living and working in Berlin.
Stephans work transcends traditional boundaries, blending the realms of acrylic painting, watercolor, plasticine sculpting and comtemporary 3d art.

Through his simplified, easily recognisable characters, he flips the narrative of self image and self optimization in our present day existence.
Seemingly light and happy on the surface with a hint of existential suffering below.
His works have been frequently published in various publications and exhibitions worldwide.
