PAHNL
Pahnl is a visionary artist who has been enchanting audiences since 2006 with his creations of a diminutive world inhabited by people, dogs, and cats. With his small street artworks, Pahnl takes joy in witnessing the lives of these little characters in the real world, understanding the ephemeral nature of existence—it’s just a ride! The act of leaving his artworks in various locations and returning to find them still intact weeks, months, or even years later brings Pahnl a sense of satisfaction and comfort, akin to checking in on an old friend.

Within his studio, Pahnl employs a diverse range of artistic techniques including spray paint, screen printing, and has many specialised tools to infuse life into his small world. While street art reflects an admiration for the environment, Pahnl’s studio work enables him to craft the surroundings of his characters and observe their interactions. Pahnl also delves into animation and has amassed a significant following on social media, showcasing his artworks with a little help from his friends.
