Nando von Arb was born in Zurich in 1992. He studied illustration fiction at the Lucerne School of Art and Design and fine arts in illustration at the LUCA School of Arts in Ghent. Von Arb is a trained graphic designer and works as a freelance illustrator and comic author. <\/p>\n\n
In 2019, von Arb made his debut with the autobiographically inspired graphic novel \u00bbDrei V\u00e4ter\u00ab (tr: Three Fathers). In it, he tells the story of growing up with his often overwhelmed single mother and three fathers from the child’s perspective: his biological father, his sister’s father, and his mother’s partner. With a lot of humor \u2013 the mother is a bird, the father a wild animal \u2013 and bold colors alternating with black and white drawings, von Arb creates a differentiated picture of the various relationships with the fathers. His second graphic novel, \u00bbF\u00fcrchten Lernen\u00ab (tr: Learning to Fear), is also designed in the author’s characteristic formal language with its large, bold color contrasts. Von Arb tells episodic stories of various personal experiences of fear and how they were overcome. At the same time, there are universal feelings, such as the fear of darkness, loneliness, illness, and death, which allow the reader to identify with them. <\/p>\n\n
