The artistic designs of Béla Krieger lead the viewer into the world of Fantasy. His sketch books abound with monsters, wonderful, fairy creatures. His knife handles in this case show the head of a snake, a crocodile, a lion and an eagle, and although stylized, they seem to be alive. All lines in his drawings radiate motion and dynamism.
