Welcome to the world of little heroes!

Are you looking for new apartment ideas for your home? Do you want to make your office more creative? Then you are exactly right here!
In the “my little heroes” collection you will find illuminated wall pictures, art and decorative figures.
The “little heroes” impress with their idiosyncratic character and fit perfectly into your living room and office as a stylish accessory. As unusual design objects, they are also ideal as a gift.

The idea

My name is Tino Nitschke, I work as a freelance graphic designer and pursue my artistic ambitions both professionally and privately. I started working with painting and graphics at an early age and have since tried out different art styles.
In the mid-90s he created a series of large-format acrylic paintings. These were presented as part of an exhibition in a Berlin gallery. The centerpiece of the opening was a Madonna with a cigar child in her arms. This larger-than-life cardboard figure caught the attention of guests in the gallery's window. This later gave rise to the idea of creating an entire ensemble of figures in this style. These artistic figures were shown in various galleries under the title “Parque Infantil”.

Downsizing: The revival started in 2020. Smaller versions made of acrylic glass have now been created from painted cardboard figures. The design was further developed and the portfolio was expanded to include new motifs.
With their symbolism, the little heroes speak a universal language - and each character tells their own story. I found inspiration for the creation of the little heroes on my numerous trips to Latin America. It is the play with shapes, colors and symbols that creates the visual appeal and unmistakable character of the “my little heroes” collection.

The categories

My collection consists of four different categories:

Art figures – figures with a plexiglass base, with a motif printed on one side.

These extraordinary artistic figures represent various characters. Whether “Madonna”, the “Luxuary Boneman” or “El Santo” – each one is unique.
The contours of these figures are cut from 5 mm thick, transparent acrylic glass and glued into a milky-white base. The image motif is applied to the back of the acrylic glass body using foil printing technology. This gives the figure a corresponding depth effect, protects the motif from damage and guarantees long-lasting brilliance of the colours.
These figures are limited to 100 pieces per motif and will be sent with a certificate.
Optionally, a light base can be ordered with the figure. These are described in more detail under the extra category "Luminous base".

Decorative figures - figures in 3D optics made of colored, partly fluorescent Plexiglas,
two or more parts, can be plugged together or glued to the base.

Decorative figures look like miniaturized sculptures. The translucent material gives the figure a playful lightness.
These figures are assembled from two or more parts. Slots are milled into the 3 mm thick acrylic glass body for this purpose. There are also suitable light bases for this product category, which can be purchased as an option. For details see the “Light base” category.

Pictures with light - homogeneously illuminated mural, LED panel with snap frame

A picture with light draws the viewer's gaze and acts like a window into another dimension. Illuminated murals stand out well against the background, especially in dimly lit rooms. With their radiant presence, they appear very striking and iconic.
The LED panels have a silver anodized snap frame. The image motifs can therefore be easily exchanged at any time. Thanks to the Antiflex panel included in the equipment, the subject is clearly visible from all (viewing) angles, regardless of light or sunlight. In addition, the LED illuminated frames are characterized by a long service life and low power consumption. In short, a product that makes customers happy!
Light pictures are made to order, so the time for production and delivery (within Germany) can take up to. 2 weeks.

All figures and images are designed and produced in Germany.

Extra category: light base

Illuminated bases present the little heroes in the right light. They are a nice gimmick for the art and decorative figures from the collection and can be purchased as an option. The light bases are available in round and square versions to match the respective figure.
Decorative figures made of fluorescent acrylic glass come into their own when illuminated. A cross slot embedded in the round light base ensures that the figures stand securely.
The illuminated bases are made of 3 mm thick, frosted white, translucent acrylic glass. They are equipped with brightly shining and energy-saving LED lamps. The included power cable (230 V) is approx. 1.40 meters long and has an on/off switch.
The light bases are handmade by a company from the Erzgebirge.
