Felix Pestemer (*1974 in Braunschweig / Germany) studied Fine Arts in Berlin and Illustration in Barcelona. In 2003 he founded ‘Puttbill’ with Maria Guitart Ferrer as a label for their picture book parables; today Puttbill also represents narrative drawings. The focus of the artistic work is dedicated to the themes of perishing and valuation and the deterritorialization of iconic and symbolic meaning.

Pestemer works and lives in Berlin.
