In his lively works, German artist Robert Jahns creates colorful fantasy worlds. From New York to Venice, his playful photo manipulations connect people, nature, and movement, blurring the lines between dream and reality. Crowned the “World’s Leading Modern Digital Artist,” Jahns is among the most significant artists in the genre. Jahns explores all the possibilities presented by new media and reaches over a million people with his work on Instagram.

Traveling is where Jahns finds inspiration for his work. From Paris to London to Dubai, his art arises in the most diverse places to tell a story all its own. Jahns wants to inspire us to think and ask ourselves whether what we perceive is real or surreal. Just one glance is enough to evoke deep emotions. “It’s interesting,” Jahns says, “to dream of something great instead of just seeing what already exists.”
