Stefan Zsaitsits is an Austrian illustrator from Vienna.

With only pencils and sheets of paper, he creates drawings inspired by dreams, nightmares and obsessions, all always portrayed with a touch of hope.
His series of works is called "Headsongs". Zsaitsits uses kids as protagonists, full of thoughts and imagination, always keeping with them a surrealist sense.

In Zsaitsits' drawings, nature faces geometry in the restricted space that is the figure of the kids, even though it's exactly in that space that magic happens and his creativity mixes fantasy with reality.
"It starts with an idea in my head which I'm trying to bring on paper," Zsaitsits explains of his work process.

"Sometimes I succeed and on other times I overdraw my first idea, start with a new one, erase it again until the paper tears up and work on it until it's good for me."
