Helge Sobik, born in Lübeck, Germany, in 1967, mainly writes reports on foreign countries from all over the world. Amongst other publications, his articles appear in the Süddeutsche Zeitung, the Standard in Vienna and the SonntagsZeitung in Zürich. As an author he works for magazines such as Vogue and Icon. In his works dealing with famous artists he is interested in taking more than just a history of art approach: his aim is to make the artists come alive to the reader far beyond their works alone, inducing  other people to talk about them, understanding them in the surroundings of their workplace and therefore always presenting a particulary plastic image of their day-to-day life. He has dealt with Picasso’s creative work specifically in the South of France in several essays and has repeatedly visited all of the places in the region where the greatest artist of the century worked – also meeting several of his contemporaries. Sobik has been presented with several awards for journalism.
