Yasna Kohlbrenner

Originally from Basel (Switzerland), mother of 3 adult kids, I live and work today in Prilly (Lausanne) close to the beautiful lake of Geneva.

 

At the beginning of my forties, after a career in the fashion, I developed a great passion for art painting.

 

What revelation! Just like the other artist said:

 

"Painting is loving and loving is living perfectly!"

 

The relationship I maintain with my work is in fact a fascinating adventure. A spiritual freedom which leads me permanently to higher horizons.

 

The process was shaped over years of self-taught exercises and so I developed my own style. I love the creative generosity. My paintings are predominantly created through various work processes with materials such as marble flour, sawdust, sand, homemade rust, acrylics, pigments, clay etc. which leads to various structures such as slits, holes, and crackle effects. A great variety of techniques, forms, texts and lights, which I integrate into my paintings, finally creates the finished work.

 

There is usually no wanted idea or approach when I paint, my final art is therefore always a surprise for me, what I appreciate so much. Discovering my final project once it's done!

 

As traveling is a great passion, my works are strongly inspired by my memories of the beauty of our earth. 

​

It is an absolute contemporary art mainly with abstract orientation.
