Thomas Sixt Culinary Still Life Photography and Art Editions


Instead of a signature dish, I present my signature image. I am a chef, photographer, and visual storyteller of culinary symbolism.
What ends up on the plate for others becomes a motif for me – as a still life, as visual essence, as a collector’s item.
My works move between food art, still life, and symbolism. They tell of the essential in simplicity, of taste in imagery.
All works are issued in limited editions, hand-signed, produced to the highest quality, and available exclusively upon personal request.
Edition: Essence of Food – Still Life with Depth
Every ingredient tells a story. Every shape, color, and texture has character.
The “Essence of Food” series presents ingredients as protagonists – in a clear, calm visual language, far from decoration or food styling. Reduction to the essentials, captured in light and space.
These works invite you to pause, to discover the simple within the complex. Each work is available as a square Art Mini (19.2 x 19.2 cm), limited to 5 copies per motif.
Essence of Food is perfect for kitchens, restaurants, design spaces, and collectors who recognize simplicity as art. Price per number: €350 to €5,600.






Culinary Symbols, Icons of Taste, Meta Food, Still Life with Attitude
This series presents motifs with subtext, irony, or personal stories.
Inspired by pop culture, society, music, or encounters. Images that provoke questions or shift perspectives. (Descriptions of 10 artworks as before)
Whether it’s called art, I leave to others. I call it: Position.





Everyday banality meets luxury. A provocation in visual form. Leica Q2.

The weave becomes a stage, the fruit a character. Leica Q2.

Leica 10846 SL2-S Body + Summicron 35mm f/2.0.
Table Works, Still Life Composition on the Plate
Here, plated food becomes a stage. But not staged for advertising or appetite, but for space, light, and feeling.
Table Works shows food as visual form, as expression, as a surface between staging and memory. Perfect for culinary spaces, restaurants, cooking schools, or private dining areas.

The sun-kissed shrimp meets the tender tip of green asparagus. Black as infinity, the background frames the composition.
A culinary still life inspired by the lighting and silent concentration of Georges de La Tour. Leica 10846 SL2-S Body + Summicron 35mm f/2.0.
Liquid Landscapes – Drinks as Visual Language
Cocktails, glasses, reflections – liquid light. Liquid Landscapes is my series about drinks, holiday moments, and visual depth.
Some images appear almost like landscapes, though they are drinks. Others recall nights, conversations, moods. Ideal for lounges, bars, kitchens, and collectors with a feel for the fluid.
