Doro Huber
In her collages, screen prints and drawings, Dorothea Huber tells bizarre and alienating, expressive and humorous stories about the depths of the human psyche. Abstracting emotions, capturing them visually and exaggerating them is a characteristic feature of her work. Your customers particularly appreciate the complexity of their illustrations and the strong, emotional expression. One of her strengths is not only illustrating texts with her images, but also visually enriching them with new facets of the narrative.
Technically, she moves between analog and digital work. She often creates ink drawings, which she then digitally colors and combines with collaged elements. But collages and printing techniques such as screen prints and monotypes are also part of her repertoire.
Her work has already received several awards. Among other things, she received the Hans Meid Prize for Illustration in 2011, was selected for “200 BEST Illustrators worldwide” (Lürzer's Archive) in 2018 and was supported by a scholarship for fine arts from the state of Brandenburg in 2020.
The qualified illustrator and graphic designer has so far worked primarily for magazines, newspapers and periodicals such as Geo, Brigitte, Psychology Today and the taz. She also often works for cultural institutions. Among other things, she illustrated programs for the Berlin Philharmonic for several years. She has also enriched various programs for the Hanover State Theater with her illustrations.
Doro has also illustrated several books. The Gutenberg Book Guild published the novels “Captain Pamphile” by Alexandre Dumas and “Brehms Tierland” by Kai Splittgerber, which she illustrated. Most recently, her book “Aus Mutters Mund” was published by Jaja Verlag, which made it onto the longlist of the most beautiful German books in 2022.
Doro lives with her family near Potsdam. Her freelance work is created in her studio in the vulcanized fiber factory in Werder, and she creates her commissioned work in the art and creative house data center in Potsdam.
