About the Design
Pigeons deserve better than the negative reputation they still unjustifiably carry—a reputation that can cost them their lives. Very few people know that pigeons are abandoned pets that were bred by humans and then labeled a problem. Just think about that.
They’re considered dirty because they eat food scraps and trash. They only do this because they can’t find anything else. Of course, this food isn’t suitable for their species and makes them sick.
There are around 50,000 to 60,000 city pigeons living in Vienna. Cities urgently need to take responsibility. In my opinion, the bare minimum of responsibility is to have supervised pigeon lofts in every district, to care for the animals, and to provide sufficient species-appropriate food.
Every pigeon is an individual and has a right to protection and care—especially because humans bred them (this way).
FAQ
-
My Fine Art Patches emerge from my inner world—from what moves me, accompanies me, or simply won’t let me go. Attitude, humor, a connection to plants, books, and our fellow animals and fellow humans. They are my expression and a reflection of my belief that design can convey a message and, in doing so, have a personal impact. Each design is a distillation of something real. No feedback and no outside influence to sway me.
-
All designs are my own—from the initial concept to the finished artwork. It all starts with a feeling, a theme, or an idea, which I then sketch and illustrate. Next, I create the embroidery file myself—line by line and block by block. I embroider the designs using my embroidery machine. Finally, I cut out each piece by hand and finish it according to the type of product. I also handle the packaging myself.
-
Yes, through and through. I don’t use any animal-derived materials at all—not in the fabric, the threads, or the adhesive. For me, veganism isn’t just an add-on, but the foundation on which everything I do is based and the reason why I do it.

Fine Art Patch
Peel off the white adhesive backing, place the patch where you want it, cover it with a dish towel or parchment paper, and iron it on for one minute at 160 degrees Celsius. If you're ironing it onto a garment that you'll be washing, be sure to also sew it down along the edges. The adhesive doesn't hold very well on its own.Fine Art Charm
The carabiner comes separately for easier transport. Clip it into the eyelet and attach the charm to your bag or your chosen piece of clothing. -
It depends on the edition. Some editions are intentionally limited to a specific number of pieces, while others are reissued at regular intervals after they sell out.
-
No, that's not possible. Each design is created exactly as I intended it, with the carefully chosen colors and shapes.
