Nadia Giger
Intense realities
Portrait
I introduce myself, Nadia Giger. I was born in Lucerne in 1974 and grew up there.
At the age of 18, I was already drawn to the wide world and I traveled to South America. For a year, I lived in the Bolivian Amazon and learned the language, traditions, and culture of the locals. Then I traveled to Brazil. In Sao Paulo, I met the love of my life and spent a total of 6 years in the big city.
Since I was a child, I have been fascinated by beautiful animals and especially horses. Owner of a horse that I cherished and cared for. After the death of my life partner, I returned to Switzerland. Back in Switzerland, I made a living working in the catering industry. With my new partner, we opened our own bar. I had an exciting time. My now 18 years old daughter is my pride and joy.
Inspiration
Every human being has more or less the ability to create images in his or her mind’s eye. This process is called imagination.
The term “imagination” is assigned to what is believed to be true, passed off as fact, and made as an assertion, without it being verified in relation to so-called reality.
However, the images that arise in our dreams and in our imaginations, i.e. on the extended level of reality, emit a certain energy that exerts its influence on the day-to-day reality.
My art
Came to artistic creation by chance: “One night I was scribbling on a piece of paper. Made quite a few lines and strokes. Due to lack of space, my hand wandered to the wall of the room. With a lot of momentum, I marked these, and it was a wild mess.”
At that time, I realized that I painted the wall with my left hand, even though I am actually right-handed. I painted for over 8 weeks, and the work changed continuously. I used my mobile phone to record the stages. “It was breathtaking, and every snapshot showed me something new.”
My paintings are different: different in the subjects, in the colors – but all of them are intense and full of energy. Motifs can include both life after death and the journey to the afterlife. His, but also the real existing world.

Colors for a cause
I am a passionate artist and enjoy being creative with colors and other inspiring materials to create unique works of art. I am very happy when I can bring some color into people’s lives.
I also want to do something good by selling my artworks, and therefore I’m donating part of the proceeds to a good cause: “A loving home for street dogs”.

Urs Jaermann
Reflective visions
Hello
I am Urs or Arturs, art created by Urs. I love to express myself and my view on life and society in art. Maybe my background influences the way I paint, always conceptual and not just l’art pour l’art. With a few exceptions as always in life. Enjoy my work and visit me anytime in Wald.
My Story
Urs Jaermann, is a Swiss artist born in Lausanne, a French-speaking part of Switzerland. Though his early life was influenced by the German-speaking region of Zurich, he later pursued a career in advertising. This career, close to art yet not fully immersed in it, was chosen partly due to his family’s apprehensions about the financial instability often associated with artists. Ironically, some of his granduncle’s artwork is now exhibited in the art museum of Basel.
After leaving advertising, Urs Jaermann rediscovered his passion for painting. He primarily works with acrylic on canvas, creating pieces that reflect his conceptual approach to art. Now, with a dedicated studio, he fully embraces his artistic journey. Arturs’ works are showcased in various exhibitions, and he has received accolades for his artistic achievements.
Work
Urs works primarily with acrylic on canvas. His art is characterized by a conceptual approach, often infused with a touch of sarcasm or critical humor. Jaermann’s work spans various themes including portraits, the state of the planet, and interpretations of nature. His portraits, for instance, are unique in their satirical and humorous depiction of people.
In addition to traditional painting, Jaermann explores contemporary themes such as climate change and societal conflicts, presenting these issues through a more abstract lens. He also delves into nature-inspired art, striving to offer a fresh perspective in a genre that has seen extensive exploration.
Some of his works are created digitally and printed on art paper. This diversity in medium and subject matter reflects Jaermann’s innovative spirit and commitment to documenting and critiquing the world around him through his art.

Yannick William Assiedou
Abstract horizons
Bio
Brussels-based artist, self-taught Yannick William Assiedou uses the abstract as a means of expression. Ivorian, he left his country young to discover the world.
This is reflected in his work, inspired by the biodiversity of our planet combined with the multiple facets of human perception.Thanks to bold colorful work, he questions the expression and sensation of deep emotions.
Statement of Art
I would have liked to look in a mirror and see clearly who I am. This is very complicated. So, I replaced my mirror with brushes and a canvas.
I saw a perpetual search for freedom, lightness, tranquillity. This by movements and colours.
I saw doubts, anger, darkness.
I also saw curiosity, discoveries, love, peace.
I saw a self-psychoanalysis of an ordinary man.

Surreal echoes and earthbound dreams
