“In nature there is a closed cycle. Everything flows. The sea is constantly changing dynamically. It permeates life and makes everything softer, smoother and more permeable. Water is formless, condenses, decomposes, sometimes it seems threatening, effervescent, then calm again, crystal clear, until mirror-smooth.
Water refreshes and renews life. The element water symbolizes energy in the earth.” More on this Painting
Rafaëlle Berchtold: “Born in Zurich with French roots, worked as a trained economist in the investment area of a major bank. At the same time, I immersed myself in painting and continued my artistic education in visual arts, video art and photography, and completed a master’s degree in MA of Arts in Transdisciplinarity at the ZHdK.
I move between these worlds and besides exhibitions I also do commissioned work, which I sell directly in consultation with the customer. During my studies I took over the artistic implementation and management of several performances, painting and video projects and have been developing my artistic engagement ever since.” More on Rafaëlle Berchtold

“Lying on the beach, standing on a peak or wandering through the forest, we can enter into resonances with natural forces.”
