Welcome to Elphigrazil.
World art that has never hung in any gallery on the globe.
This art book is not a documentation. It is an invitation to you to experience Hamburg's Elbphilharmonie through completely different eyes. 21 world-renowned artists - including Leonardo da Vinci, Frida Kahlo, Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, and other icons of art history - approach this Hamburg beacon of extraordinary glass and stone: with line, surface, color, and emotion. What they reveal is not an answer. Rather, 21 individual perspectives on a center of culture that is without equal.
You will see the first two images and think:
"It cannot get any better," and then you turn the page...
Each work displays this beauty in its own unique artistic style. Inspired by the great visual creators of our era, works have emerged that impressively unite classical and modern elements.

About the Person
Tom Tommsen's sensitive eye for the human - sharpened in years of psychological and systemic practice - permeates each of his works. Respect for artistic creation has accompanied him throughout. He has long given expression to his personal art through word and language - with Elphigrazil and Majestic Art now for the first time also pictorially. As a Hamburg native, he combines intuition, imagination and artistic reference into works that reach beyond the visible.
The Path to Prominence
His works emerge from inner movement - carried by empathy and a deep sense for form, light and meaning. In doing so, he engages with art historical models without copying them. Rather, he connects his visionary fantasy with the works of great artists and thus creates pictures that seem new - yet strangely familiar.
The Identity of Art
Tommsen's signature is not bound to one style - it consciously employs stylistic means. Detailed, multi-layered and changeable, he approaches each motif anew - with the eye of a designer and the skill of a creator. What emerges is never mere variation but always an individual translation: creative, independent - and often surprisingly familiar to the viewer. He calls his own visual language tongue-in-cheek Symcubism - as a connection of symbolic depth and geometric structure.
