Pro member Publish Not your original work? Add source Art is a perfect way to communicate and highlight all the issues and problems that arise. It is also a means to open people's eyes and let them finally see things that were swept under the rug and not touched for the longest time. German artist Steffen Kraft, also known as Iconeo, creates thought-provoking illustrations that enable one to self-reflect and to see the world from a different point of view. Bored Panda has shared his artworks with you pandas before (you can find them here). Since that time the artist created some more profound illustrations. His drawings are impressive and communicate important messages that come from observing our modern society. Which one is the most relatable to you?

View more comments Steffen Kraft is a graphic designer and an illustrator from Germany. Steffen revealed to Bored Panda that he used to work in an advertising agency, but it wasn't something he wanted to pursue in his life. It was "far away from being an artist." For Steffen, it is important to express something in illustrations, not just make momentary images that people are overwhelmed with already. #2 iconeo Report Final score: 117points POST Elizabeth Sundby Elizabeth Sundby Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago this is sad but true ;( 32 32points reply View more comments #3 iconeo Report Final score: 114points POST best turtle best turtle Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago gladly 51 51points reply View more comments Steffen's creativity does not have any boundaries. He has developed an unique style that perfectly fits with the themes he visualizes.

View more comments The artist tries to turn complex political, social and environmental themes into simple and provoking illustrations that everybody can easily understand and maybe even feel the need to discuss with others. That's the goal for Steffen. By depicting and pointing to some problems that our society faces, the artist also manages to motivate people to change something about it, to be more conscious, active and creative. #6 iconeo Report Final score: 111points POST Madzdad the bard Madzdad the bard Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago Sadly, you could add men to this as well. 98 98points reply View More Replies...
