André LAAME c/o SEPIA creates portraits and illustrations to remember that are just as much food for thought. Lively painting meets elegant illustration. Particularly in his portraits, he likes to use painting techniques, which can be seen in his new work for the magazine Wirtschaftswoche. Depicted in the photo is the President of the Austrian National Bank, Robert Holzmann. He is considered the “Falcon of the European Central Bank”.
According to Holzmann, the extremely lax monetary policy of the ECB could soon come to an end. Instead, a sustained increase in inflation towards the ECB target would be preferable, says the chief of the Austrian issuing bank.
Born 1949 in Styria, Robert Holzmann is an Austrian economist and worked in various positions at the World Bank in Washington D.C. from 1997 to 2011. In January 2019, he was nominated as Governor of the Austrian National Bank and followed Ewald Nowotny in this function in September that same year.
André Laame’s clients appreciate his lively and extremely expressive illustrative style. He works for international publishing companies, and foundations including the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Caritas Germany, Greenpeace, Handelsblatt, Die Zeit, NZZ and Süddeutsche Zeitung.

Illustrator Isabel SELIGER c/o SEPIA studied at the University of Art in Kassel and has lived in Berlin since 2014. She illustrates frequently for international magazines, and her particular specialty are teasers and title photos full of atmosphere. One of which was here for the summer issue of the magazine JACOBIN. SEPIA tells us : “The title photo shows workers enjoying a refreshment. Isabel immerses the after-work scene in a warm and casual atmosphere. The motif is an homage to ‘Bathing soldiers (the Builders of the bridge)’ by Dmitri Zhilinsky from 1959.”

Robert DEUTSCH c/o SEPIA is an illustrator, painter and comic artist from Leipzig. He studied at the University of Art and Design Halle in Burg Giebichenstein under Prof. Georg Barber, also widely known as ATAK.
For his heroes, Robert invents worlds in acrylic paintings and illustrations, where they can do whatever they feel like. Which can often lead to scenarios that are bizarre, at times sad or even ironic. But Robert always lovingly stages his figures, with a big heart for likable and eccentric characters.
Robert’s clients appreciate his in-your-face style and the unusual perspective in his illustrations. Among his clients are publishing companies such as Der Spiegel, Handelsblatt, Gruner und Jahr, Süddeutsche Zeitung, but also theaters and foundations. His personal works and acrylic paintings can also be seen in galleries. In 2017, his first graphic novel about mathematician Alan Turing appeared at Avant Publishing. GoSee : sepia-illustration.de
