The large-format black and white pencil-drawings by Berlin-based artist Ralf Tekaat transport the viewer into surreal landscapes characterized by natural beauty. With intricate details and captivating textures, his scenarios evoke a sense of wonder and explore seemingly familiar natural elements.

Tekaat’s combination of texture and contrast creates a sense of tactility and tricks the viewer into believing they are looking at a real, tangible place. Through the manipulative use of light sources on the various surfaces, he creates the illusion of depth to explore the jagged forms that unfold before him. His compositions emphasize the diversity of geological structures in order to pay tribute to this universal, infinite and unique natural aesthetic.

Ancient riverbeds and mountain ranges come to life in his imaginary networks of lines. Tekaat’s works have neither temporal nor traditional spatial reference points. With every stroke of his pencil, he honors the architecture of nature and encourages the viewer to pause and appreciate the beauty that surrounds him. His works are a powerful reminder of the diversity and complexity that exists in nature and wants to be discovered.
