"The Crocodile in the Pool" Print

Amidst the sunny atmosphere of Southern Germany, Frank Daske - working under the pseudonym Autofocus - creates an artistic universe where tradition and innovation merge explosively. As a photographer, digital artist, and passionate painter since childhood, he pushes the boundaries of classical techniques, utilizing digital technologies to create art that breathes, pulsates, and transforms everyday life into pure magic. His works engage in a passionate dialogue with the giants of art history: he breathes new life into Matisse’s fluid forms and luminous colors through stylized botanical motifs and luscious still lifes, while Bauhaus precision and Expressionist wildness dance across the canvas. Pop Art energy meets Street Art rebellion; naive folk elements encounter minimalist elegance. Whether depicting sensual nudes in a bathtub, dreaming cats nestled among houseplants, or luscious figs serving as an ode to the *joie de vivre*—Autofocus captures the essence of beauty, tranquility, and exoticism on posters and canvases across the globe. His art is more than mere decoration; it is a daily dose of dopamine—an invitation to view the world through a fresh, positive, and optimistic lens.
