Hi, I'm Stefanie! I've been making pixel art since 2016 and quit my IT job in 2023 to pursue art full-time. Find my animated artworks (and me!) at conventions around Germany and Western Europe. This page gives you an idea of my booth setup, my art and the prints I bring.

Artworks

I make pixel art with a distinct neo-noir vibe and detailed loop-style animations. Sodium-vapor lights should never have been abandoned... My quest is to keep them alive.

  • Who Owns the City? (2021, an animated pixel artwork by Stefanie Grunwald) depicting Hamburg's Köhlbrandbrücke at night with glowing street lights and cars speeding along the bridge. A crow flies across the street.

    Who Owns the City? • (2021)

  • 2:00 AM (2020, an animated pixel artwork by Stefanie Grunwald) depicting Hamburg's Sternbrücke at night from the viewpoint of the crossroads next to it. The street is wet and traffic lights slowly change from green to red to green again.

    2:00 AM • (2020)

  • Long Haul • (2020)

  • Detour • (2021)

  • Drive by Night • (2020)

  • The Light and the Half-Light • (2021)

  • Drive (2022, an animated pixel artwork by Stefanie Grunwald) depicting a rearview-mirror view of cars with glowing headlights driving down a highway at night in front of a dark cityscape while passing illuminated street lights.

    Drive • (2022)

  • Stationary • (2021)

  • Road Trip • (2020)

  • City scapes inspired by German roads and street lights.

    Sometimes real, sometimes imaginary. Always homesick for places we might have never been.

Wait, but you do prints?

Absolutely! My technique of choice is lenticular printing. That transforms my animations into giant flip images which animate frame by frame as you walk by (or flip in your hands). No batteries, no lights, no electricity - just Physics at work.
