This week we have another treat for you in the form of Mike Ahrens from Germany. Enjoy . . .
Mike was born in Braunschweig / Germany in 1964 and is the son of racing legend and former Porsche factory driver Kurt Ahrens.
It was only at the age of 40 that he discovered the fascination of Motorsport when his father started to attend Classic Motor Racing events and Revivals again.
Mike then competed in minor racing series but ended his racing activities after the 2013 Renault Clio Cup Bohemia Championship.
As a teenager, he dealt with the first home computers and soon learned how to be creative on the digital highway. He doesn't have special training in these areas but has a personal view on things.
For his computer artwork, he mainly uses his own photographs shot at various occasions. Mike works completely digital and does not use real brushes or paint. His working techniques however, have changed over the last few months.
To put it in his words, "It's a journey and I'm still looking for a consistent characteristic in my pictures. I still try out a lot of things!"
Last year, his photographs from nature were printed in advertising leaflets by Panasonic Lumix Germany.
As from 2017, Mike started to use professional cameras and his artistic work on Motorsport motives came in 2018.
Mike can be found on many social media platforms. He uses print on demand websites like Redbubble though it's only on request that he puts his Motorsport artwork there.
Mike concluded: "I get motivation through likes and sharing my posts on the social media platforms. Today, the internet makes it so much easier to find people with the same interests“.
