Stephan Schmitz is a Zurich, Switzerland-based artist who creates illustrations that usually have a profound effect on anyone who sees them. They are not only exceptionally done but also contain messages and symbolism that will make you think long and hard about modern life.\n\n\n\n

Schmitz\u2019s artworks show everyday situations on a seemingly exaggerated scale that looks less outrageous the more you look at it.\n\n\n\n

For example, one of his illustrations shows a family sitting at a dinner table. But while the rest of the family is eating their meal, the father is shown converting half of it into a working desk and being fully focused on his job. This perfectly captures the modern work culture that sees people taking their work home and letting it consume them.\n\n\n\n
