Adolf Born liked to draw since childhood. "I enjoy that you can let your imagination run wild and that the children accept it." His work, full of humor, attracts viewers both with its imagination and, above all, with its accessibility to anyone who wants to have fun. The composition of the Cabaret artists is grotesque mainly due to the construction of the bizarre unicycle, which is held together by animals, instead of a horn, it has an integrated trained bird, and in tow is a mermaid in a bathtub. In his view, illustrations work completely independently even without text, both for adults and children. His considerable cultural outlook and numerous travels, where he collected exotic subjects, are also a big bonus.
