Art serves as a mirror of our society, constantly adapting to capture and reflect its developments, progress, or regress. Throughout history, art has been a powerful tool for artists to depict the world around them, expressing their interpretations of the society in which they live.

Steffen Kraft, also known as "Iconeo", is a German artist and activist who uses his skills as a graphic designer to reflect on important social issues through his illustrations. His artworks often address topics such as environmental conservation, social justice, and human rights. Through his creative and thought-provoking pieces, Steffen aims to raise awareness, spark conversations, and inspire positive change in society.

Steffen Kraft is a German graphic designer and illustrator who previously worked in an advertising agency but did not find it fulfilling. In an interview with Bored Panda, he explained that he values creating illustrations that convey a message rather than just producing momentary images that people have already seen before.

Steffen’s creativity does not have any boundaries. He has created a distinct style that aligns perfectly with the subjects he portrays. Using simple yet striking and contemplative illustrations, he is able to capture the essence of the world and all its surroundings.

This is exactly what I told a friend a few weeks ago: My life feels like a puzzle where all the pieces don't fit together.

Jesus, once I was talking to a schizophrenic and in the middle of the conversation he told me he sometimes felt like his veins were roads and his cells were cars and buses and I always wanted to turn this into art, the first one is the closest I've ever seen, so thank you for that!

Is OK they'll make a movie on a few years about how slaughtering the village gave the soldiers ptsd, so they had to drink a lot.

This is one of those rare works of art that stopped me in my tracks. So powerful, so simple.

I stopped at this one for a minute, cause of the unspent cartridges. If it's not an oversight, by the artist, maybe that thing where guilty soldiers 'play the part' and he racked unspent rounds... Art is usually lost on me, but Jack boots and crying caught me for some reason

This reminds me so much of Hemingway’s “six word story” challenge.
