Andreas Floris (b. 1948)
The cartoonist Andreas Floris was born in 1948 in Budapest.
Andreas Floris studied from 1967 to 1978 design and art education in Nuremberg.
He has for many years worked as a press illustrator, cartoonist and illustrator. In the cartoon competition of the largest Japanese daily newspaper Yomouri Shimbun he was awarded in 1989 with the Excellent Prize. His works appear in the Nürnberger Zeitung and he is a member of the Franconian cartoonist group "cartoonage".
His passion is the representation of man in his effort to ignore inadequacies or deplorable conditions of his environment. Often his works are at the borderline of satire, namely where human behaviour devolves from the incomprehensible into absurdity. With a sharp pen, he draws human characteristics and country-typical features such as in the volumes "The merry Aeskulap" published by Kunstverlag Weingarten or "Americartoons" published by Süddeutscher Verlag, Nuremberg.
Andreas Floris lives and works in Nuremberg.
