Herakut is a German artist duo comprised of Hera (Jasmin Siddiqui) and Akut (Falk Lehmann).

In 2004 both artists combined their works and names to create Herakut. Their successful collaboration merged their individual approaches characterized by Hera’s classic art education and studies in Graphic Design and Akut’s experience as a graffiti artist – he was part of worldwide renowned the MA’CLAIM Crew along with CASE, TASSO, and RUSK. The result is a unique signature style characterized by imaginary worlds and characters, melancholy and storytelling.

One look and you’ll agree that there is much power and beauty to be found in Herakut’s works of art.

Albeit dark in nature, the imagery found in Herakut’s works is striking, conveying a myriad of emotions through the main focus of their works: the eyes. It is this emphasis on a darker color palette that serves as a background to their murals while adding a vibrant energy to these specific elements chosen to be emphasized in their creations. In contrast to their more recognizable works, Herakut has also delved into the more strict black and white color palette. Nevertheless, the combination of more modern elements with their customary conventional techniques allows the two-person German street artist team to bring to life every single character portrayed in their art at a more relatable level in today’s art scene.
