NDB: Hi Klaus, many readers of NDB have seen your works, and these creations are very popular among many lovers of Nordic design and architecture, can you describe the creative process, how these beautiful ideas were developed?

KH: It’s quite simple process. Now I’ve just re-invented the classical illustration basically the styles like early Russian avant-garde which is based on very geometrical shape language. And then I’m processing it by using the most cutting edge technological tools combined with more traditional way of drawing and painting.

NDB: Where do you get your inspiration from?

KH: I get my ideas from everyday life, just by walking in the park or seeing people and communicating. The other part of my imagination is more personally orientated- which roots deeply in to my childhood. I’m also doing quite much research for creative process, every time i travel somewhere i try to get as much back from it by discovering some new and interesting visual treats.

NDB: Tell us about your favorite work you have done?

KH: It’s hard to name one over the others, but perspectively I would say that my Solo exhibition in Seoul – which was consisted of 3 different galleries and other spaces.

When you get the chance to create whole installation of your prints and images was most rewarding, The basic structure was Nordic forest made of my prints in different formats and scales.

Some printed structures over 25 meters wide. Children dressed as my characters in the best asian contemporary galleries.

NDB: This is a popular question that we ask our favorites. What the top three songs are currently on your playlist?
