“I’m a Swiss artist who’s been painting for 12 years now. It first started when I took a class where you could explore painting with different painters and different styles. Since this course I never stopped. First I painted a lot of animals and made a few customized pieces for friends and family. Just recently I started with abstract art and I am totally in love with it. Most of the time I paint from my soul, trying to put my thoughts and emotions into the work. For me painting is taking a break from reality or a meditation after a stressful day. As inspiration I take sceneries in the Swiss mountains while hiking or ocean views while on vacation, just nature in general. My go to paint is acrylic. Often, I work with some structure and/or oil pastels. What I love about creat-ing art is to hear and see how it affects people differently.”
