With the Natural Print monotypes I bring the beauty of nature to paper. With the help of copper plate, oil paint and the tools of gravure printing, I capture the unique forms of nature. Each print is unique, each flower unique - in the series, however, they refer to each other, can be compared, combined and reveal an infinite wealth of wonderful shapes.
At first glance, the prints are minimalist and reduced in format and color, to give space at second glance to precisely this wealth of nature, to pay attention to it at a time when our natural environment needs more care than ever.
In addition to the printing craft, long walks through nature are also part of my everyday life. Watching the flowers change with the seasons inspires me to create new work; sometimes it's a flower in bloom, sometimes a vine growing on a wall, an autumn leaf blown away by the wind, or an "ordinary" meadow. Nature is - fortunately - present in so many places and once you have trained your eye, you will discover the beauties everywhere.
Some works will be digitized and translated into posters and greeting cards. In addition to the original prints, I regularly create new collections that I sell in my studio, in Swiss concept stores and at markets.
The original prints are created in the open print studio of the Rote Fabrik in Zurich and in our own flower studio in Basel. Since 2021 I have also been offering workshops to pass on my love for craftsmanship and the appreciation for the beauty of our nature.
