Milan Haupt is a multidisciplinary artist working in the fields of animation, motion design, photography, video, music, sound design, tattooing, and visual media. Before starting formal studies, Haupt came from a self-taught background in traditional drawing and painting, as well as early work with photography and video. In 2017, with the beginning of formal studies at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne, the focus shifted increasingly toward animation and video art.
During this time, the artistic focus developed more strongly toward moving images, especially animation and video art. Since then, practical experience has also been gained at WDR — starting as a design student and continuing as a freelance motion designer.
A self-taught approach and wide-ranging interests have led to the development of diverse creative skills, including music composition, sound design, editing, and visual storytelling, with each area continuously evolving through practice.
