Product Description
Review
Flowerhead: Olaf Hajek, is a gorgeous paean to the work of this supremely talented Berlin-based illustrator. Encompassing elements of naive art and surrealism, and always featuring large amounts of flora, the work of this artist is now highly sought after. An amazing source of inspiration for any aspiring illustrator. --Amelia's Magazine
Product Description
Olaf Hajek is currently one of the world s most successful illustrators. His work can be seen in publications including The New York Times and The Guardian, in advertisements for companies such as Bacardi and Daimler Benz as well as on stamps for Great Britain s Royal Mail. Despite the diversity of his clientele, Hajek makes no aesthetic compromises. His characteristic style is what makes his work appealing to a broad audience and range of clients. Hajek s colorful illustrations and textured paintings are infused with a folkloristic naivety and freshness. Influenced by West African and Latin American art, he creates surreal juxtapositions of fairy tale fantasies and disordered realities. Whether Hajek dresses angelical cherubs in Mexican wrestler masks or adorns hairstyles with vibrant ecosystems of birds, butterflies, and flowers, his magical realism enriches the perspective of anyone viewing his work. Flowerhead is Olaf Hajek s first monograph. The book presents his advertising and editorial work, commercial portraits, and fashion illustration as well as personal art that he created exclusively for the book.

I loved this book immediately just by looking at the cover! When I received the book and opened it up I was equally impressed. The illustrations are lush, and fantastical. I want so many of these images to place on my walls.Olaf Hajek is amazing; he is coming out with another book next year I will anxiously await!

Nice book, yet not the big deal
29 Feb 2012
Format:Hardcover
Olaf Hajek is an outstanding illustrator with unique creations. If you access his website, you will see a great variety of works, ranging from art, books, portraits, fashion, maps...
That's exactly what I expected in this book: a great variety. However, in spite of the great cover and the very beautiful illustrations compiled in it, "Flowerhead" brings few of his breathtaking works. Most of them aren't the best I have seen of his art. Therefore, I am looking forward to buying his new upcoming book which is promised to be launched this year. Hopefully, it will cover a much more interesting heap.
