Reviews
„Incredibly detailed and beautiful. You can tell a real artist was at work here.“
— Markus W.„Delivered lightning fast. I gave it as a gift right away — the reaction was priceless.“
— Thomas B.„The perfect gift for Berlin lovers. One of a kind!“
— Lea K.How the motif is made
Drawing on the street is my favourite way to get to know a city. I sit on my little camping chair, people stop, share stories and give me tips on where to draw next.
Every motif starts as an original 80 × 80 cm ink drawing, made live on the street. Back in Germany I carefully scan and clean the drawing for printing.
On my travels I discover something new to love about the city every day – and draw it into the picture. Maybe one day you will stand right at one of these places.
Spotted something in the drawing and want to know what's behind it? Message me – I'm happy to tell you the story or share the location.
Your canvas in detail
The artwork is printed and stretched around all sides – making it pop off your wall, even without a floater frame.
Built with genuine poplar hardwood: our gallery-standard floater frames combine a shadow-gap design with a silky matte finish in black or white.
I partner with a trusted fine art printer in Europe and the USA specialising in canvas, offering exceptional quality and fast international shipping:
State-of-the-art printing delivers crisp lines with glossy-finish inks on a pure white, matte-primed canvas. Safe for your home and designed to resist fading for years.
Guaranteed no bad smells or chemicals in your home:
Shipped fully assembled. Your canvas arrives ready to hang, stretched over a high-quality wooden stretcher frame. If you chose a floater frame, it comes perfectly fitted.
Your canvas is carefully packed to arrive safely (see video below).
Production + shipping: 6–12 business days
In case of damage: inspect the package on delivery. If the artwork is damaged, return it to the carrier and contact me. If you notice damage later, email me photos of the box, the artwork and the shipping label – I'll quickly arrange a solution.
Satisfaction guarantee: 30-day returns when you shop at heinerradau.de.

The artist
I set out from my hometown Berlin in 2014 – to London and Paris, to Southeast Asia with Vietnam and Laos, to Valencia, Brussels and Basel.
In every city I stay for weeks and draw live on the street. By now it's twelve cities – and a new one is added every year.
