Michael Sowa was born in Berlin in 1945. He studied at the Academy of

Fine Art in Berlin and has worked in many capacities and published several

story books, Esterhazy being one of his best.  Sowa's art evokes wonder

and amazement, a mix of surrealism and comic illustration, of humor and

seriousness.  His work is whimsical, especially with the animal depictions. 

He mirrors life with odd people, and "normal" animals occupied in human

activities. I especially love the "laptop sheep" and the "pig in the soup",

sometimes, in order to refresh mood, people need to stir their brain by

odd idea.
