Foundryon – Artifacts from Beyond the Stars
Foundryon isn’t just décor – it’s a universe you can bring into your living space. Unlike the usual plastic collectibles that feel like toys, these steel-crafted artifacts are designed for grown-ups who want a touch of science fiction without compromising modern aesthetics. Each piece feels like a relic discovered on the frontier of space – fossil-like reconstructions of extinct exoplanetary life, monumental forms that echo ancient cosmic civilizations, and enigmatic gadgets imagined from future explorations. Foundryon makes your home not just a place of style, but a place of wonder.

Von Hauerland Is Reorbiting – Prepare for a Sharp Course Correction Into Raw Sci-Fi Design and Focused Intent.
After more than a year of drifting through side quests and scattered signals, I’m revamping the Von Hauerland site—not to reinvent the work, but to realign it. This isn’t a pivot. It’s a course correction.
The core has always been there: steel objects with presence, built like artifacts, speaking when words fall short. What’s changing is how it’s framed. No more generic labels or arty vagueness. The Main Deck is your new entry point—not a homepage, but a command bridge. The Space Port replaces the gallery—because this isn’t a museum, it’s a launch site for ideas with gravity. The blog becomes the Orbit Log, where thought, process, and fragments loop in low orbit. And if you're looking for smaller, tangible pieces—prototypes, test runs, objects with potential—you’ll find them in the Hatch.
Von Hauerland is no longer just sculpture. It’s engineered presence. Designed memory. Functional mystery.
Reorbiting begins now.
Shipping Galactic Fossils to Los Angeles: The Unexpected Order That Made My Day
After more than a year of drifting through side quests and scattered signals, I’m revamping the Von Hauerland site—not to reinvent the work, but to realign it. This isn’t a pivot. It’s a course correction.
Last week, it was Saturday morning, I woke up to a surprise: an order from Los Angeles for two of my Galactic Fossil sculptures. The excitement was real. These handcrafted steel relics, inspired by alien archaeology and layered like CT scans, were heading from my German studio all the way to the U.S. coast. But not everything was smooth sailing—between the tight packaging and the painfully overpriced international shipping, there were some exciting moments. Still, knowing my work would soon live in an LA home made it all worth it.

All the Amazing Is Still Here. Just Tucked into the Archive for What’s Next. Something Big Is on the Horizon!
Every pure art post, every spark of inspiration, and every story remains right where it belongs—in the archive, never lost, never forgotten. I’m just making room, because what’s coming next needs space to grow.
The main body of my art vlog articles is moving into the archive—not as an ending, but as a quiet reset. I’ve been working on something bold, something that reshapes what I’ve shared so far. Stay tuned. What’s coming isn’t just new—it’s a shift.

Space Relics and Alien Fossils: The Art of Interactive Sci-Fi Sculptures
Most of my work is inspired by space, universe exploration, and naturally, science fiction—which I think is a form of art in its own right. I love how sci-fi blurs the line between imagination and possible reality.
I try to give my sculptures a sense of being space relics—like artifacts discovered on distant planets or remnants of forgotten civilizations. There’s also a strong influence from paleontology, as if these objects were unearthed fossils of an alien species or extinct spacefaring cultures. Sometimes that narrative is more readable, other times it’s more abstract and open to interpretation. I want viewers to feel like they’re uncovering a mystery when they interact with the piece—something that invites curiosity, speculation, and maybe even a bit of storytelling in their own minds. The morphable, interactive quality helps to emphasize that idea: the universe is always shifting, and so is our understanding of it.
This tiny Galactic Fossil was sold and shipped to Canada. Thank you for your purchase Port Hardy!
I was so proud to wrap and ship this little galactic fossil all the way to Canada. I hope it makes a fun addition to the table and serves as a small reminder of the Universe’s wonders—the mysteries, the possibilities, and all we’ve yet to discover. I like to think the new owner will be happily reminded of how creative life can be—and keep wondering what incredible, imaginative life forms might be hiding out there in the cosmos. This Tiny Galactic Fossil was I created using steel and naturally occurring sea shells. It measures 13x7x2 cm and weighs just 150 grams—but to me, it holds a whole universe of curiosity and wonder. It’s a small tribute to the creativity of life here on Earth, and a quiet invitation to imagine what might be out there among the stars. Below the studio photos and a unboxing picture sent by the customer.
Thank you Canada!

Modern Interior Decor Sculptures Inspired By Space
Sculpture is often seen as a luxury item, but what if I told you that you can own a breathtaking, hand-crafted steel sculpture at a price that will not cost you more than a pair of Jordan´s?
Imagine pottery, but not as you know it. Galactic Pottery is my take on what an intelligent civilization from a distant exoplanet might create as functional yet artistic table decor.
If you love the idea of collecting sculptures but don’t have the space for a massive piece, I also offer tiny sculptures—small yet mesmerizing works of art that are essentially the younger siblings of my Galactic Fossil series. These pocket-sized cosmic life forms are packed with character and science fiction and fantasy vibes, making them an easy (and budget-friendly) way to introduce sculptures or inspiring decor objects into your space.

Tiny Galactic Fossil: This Entomology Inspired Fantasy Art is on its Way to Canada!
Galactic Fossils are sculptures that embody the remains of extinct life forms discovered throughout the universe.
Inspired by the endless mysteries of space and the fragments of ancient life on Earth, my work explores the idea that evolution is not limited to our planet. Just as fossils reveal the history of life on Earth, Galactic Fossils imagine what remnants of life might look like if they had once existed on other worlds—planets long forgotten or moons silently orbiting distant stars.

Galactic Steel Creations: The Fusion of Space Exploration and Sculpture
Someone said this looks like a thruster—and honestly, I wasn’t even mad. I was actually flattered. This is one of my sculptures, made from sheet steel. If you’ve read my art blog, you already know that, as a sculptor, I’m heavily inspired by space exploration. Dare to dive in and explore this piece!
Interactive & Kinetic Sculptures Inspired by Space
Art and science have always shared a profound connection, both driven by a desire to explore the unknown and express the unexplainable. For me, this relationship is the foundation of my kinetic sculptures, where celestial phenomena and cutting-edge discoveries shape my creations.

New in Art Shop: NASA Mission To Jupiter And Discovery of Galactic Fossils
Hi, I am inspired by paleontology, universe exploration, and speculative paleontology. When you combine all these elements, you get what I create—Galactic Fossils. I started about three years ago, and most of my projects were completed fairly quickly. But this one... aargh. It took ages! Also, I still don’t have a name for it, but you can suggest one on this subreddit: r/Galactic_Fossils
I coated the creation in pale beige and the holder in dark black to visually "remove" it. The final assembly reveals the prehistoric creature in its raw material form. I started working on this sculpture nearly two years ago. Since I prefer C4D, that's where I modeled it. It's something between sciart and paleoart—not much of an anatomical representation. Instead, it’s more of an altered, "mirror" exoplanet version of something quite familiar. It’s intended to be more of an abstract sculpture—a piece I call a Galactic Fossil.
