What Matthias Holz particularly loves about illustration is the human contact: he enjoys drawing live and having a conversation with the model or the audience at the same time - especially when it comes to creating portraits, which is a very special kind of human interaction requires closeness.

Thanks to his diploma in fashion design at the Trier University of Applied Sciences and his current master's degree in illustration at the HAW Hamburg, Matthias brings with him a sound education and understanding of graphic design and illustration. Among other things, he designed a series of illustrations for food packaging such as dairy products, eggs and fish for "Ja! Natürlich".

Conceptual work is another mainstay of Matthias; he has already developed the visual language, logos and corporate identity for several customers.

As an experienced infographic designer, he regularly works for renowned media such as the weekly newspaper “Die Zeit” and the Greenpeace magazine. His work for “Die Zeit” also includes the design and graphic concept of the large infographic page in the knowledge section.

For Matthias Holz, every work is not just an order, but an opportunity to incorporate part of his personality into the final product. With a wide repertoire of techniques, from gouache and watercolor to oil and colored pencil to digital art with Adobe Illustrator and Freehand on the iPad, he can meet a wide variety of customer requirements.
