I'm Karlwake, a visual creative based in Belgium.
I work at the crossroads of illustration, graphic design, and photography, with an approach that's both instinctive and intentional.

Shaped by pop culture, 90s manga, dark films from the 80s, and visually striking narratives, I create imagery that tells a story. Alan Wake, Silent Hill, Kaori Yuki, VHS psychedelia, and a touch of cyberpunk nostalgia — my influences are diverse, unapologetic, and always rooted in meaning.

Every project is a collaboration. Whether it’s an atmospheric visual, a portrait, a tailored design or full branding, I aim to bring out emotion, coherence, and that distinct creative spark.

Approachable, professional, and just a bit unconventional — I’m here for those who want visuals that truly reflect who they are.
