Bildhauer Volkmar Kühn

What is this?

This is the website source code for the sculptor Volkmar Kühn, a German sculptor known for his works displayed in public spaces, particularly in Gera (the town I grew up in). Since 1968, he has been living and working in the former Mildenfurth monastery, which the logo represents.

The artist lacks exposure on the interweb, so I decided to build a website for him during Easter 2023. The website is built with Kirby, Vite and UnoCSS.
