When confronted, he claimed he was “inspired” by her work even though it’s obviously just her work but flipped and recoloured.

In other news, Jingna is not the only artist he has chosen to steal from.

Here is his lovely responses when questioned. “I don’t understand why you have to make such a scene”, “I didn’t represent this woman from Japan (or wherever she is from)”. Smells like white bullshit.

And here is a snippet of a message he sent to Jingna trying to cover his ass after she found out about his plagiarism. Btw the person he “stumbled upon” is another plagiariser, birds of a feather something something.

US-based Singapore photographer Zhang Jingna has lost her suit against Luxembourg artist Jeff Dieschburg for allegedly plagiarizing her work.

Dieschburg also displayed the work at an exhibition in Luxembourg and won a prize of €1,500 for it.

This is not the only time Dieschburg has been accused of misappropriating another artist's work and claiming full credit for it. The US photographer Bekka Björke has also accused him of doing the same with their photography:
