Ludwig Folbeda is a young Dutch artist, and “De Vogels” (“The Birds”), made in collaboration with the Hague Municipal Museum, is his first children’s book. Ludwig lives in Amsterdam, draws strips, makes illustrations for books, magazines and music albums and loves working in sketchbooks, where he creates entire micro-universes from words and pictures.
The book “The Birds” was published for an exhibition of 20th-century sculpture in The Hague. It is a story about two statues in love who send each other messages together with a flock of birds.
