“Der Lügner” a digital work by Jonah Sinan Çetinel.

Jonah Sinan Çetinel works across mediums to construct emotionally charged visual narratives.

Jonah Sinan Çetinel is a German visual artist whose work navigates the evolving intersections of digital illustration, animation, and sonic image-making. With a practice grounded in precision, symbolic density, and a distinct sense for rhythm and composition, Çetinel creates emotionally charged visual narratives that resonate across the screen.

Currently studying Animation and Illustration at the Internationale Filmschule Köln, Çetinel has cultivated a visual language that seamlessly merges hand-drawn aesthetics with contemporary digital techniques. His work is marked by a cinematic sensibility—each frame composed with intention, each movement layered with meaning.

Çetinel’s practice is shaped by a deep interest in memory, identity, and the fragmented self. Drawing upon personal experience and broader cultural signifiers, he constructs visual worlds that are both introspective and generationally attuned. Within his animations and illustrations, moments of tenderness coexist with sharp editorial clarity, forming a body of work that is as emotionally immediate as it is formally resolved.

In parallel to his independent artistic development, Çetinel has become a sought-after creative collaborator within the music and fashion industries. His portfolio includes visual campaigns, animated music videos, and identity-defining imagery for leading labels and artists. Among his collaborators are Adidas, Von Dutch Originals, Universal Music, Sony Music, and Atlantic Records, as well as prominent voices from the contemporary music scene including Yung Kafa & Küçük Efendi, UFO361, KC Rebell, and Lil Zey.

His ongoing collaboration with Yung Kafa & Küçük Efendi, where he has co-developed a distinct visual storytelling language across multiple releases, exemplifies his ability to create cohesive and emotionally resonant visual worlds that extend far beyond the screen.

APANAGE represents Jonah Sinan Çetinel for his singular ability to translate emotional complexity into precise visual language. His practice moves fluently between disciplines—animation, illustration, and immersive media—yet remains unmistakably personal and coherent. Çetinel embodies a new generation of artists who are both digitally native and culturally reflective, crafting narratives that are visually striking, conceptually grounded, and emotionally resonant.

What drew us to his work is not only its technical sophistication, but its deep sense of rhythm, atmosphere, and inner architecture. Jonah understands image not merely as design, but as an emotional event. His presence within music culture, paired with a sharp curatorial instinct, positions him as a vital voice in contemporary visual storytelling.

Through our collaboration, we aim to amplify Çetinel’s vision across formats and contexts—bringing his work to new audiences, new platforms, and new dimensions of visibility.
