Lis Kocher
Born 1942, Bern, Switzerland
Lives and works in Magglingen
Lis Kocher is a Swiss artist whose career spans more than six decades. She began her artistic path in the early 1960s, studying painting with Max von Mühlenen — a key figure in Swiss abstract expressionism. Kocher soon became part of the Bernese counterculture around mythologist and youth culture theorist Sergius Golowin.
Her multidisciplinary practice — ranging from painting and drawing to sculpture and assemblage — is deeply autobiographical, exploring identity, memory, and the emotional resonance of everyday experience.
Kocher has lived and worked in Switzerland, Italy, and France, and even spent several years sailing across oceans with her partner, creating art onboard their boat.
Influenced by feminist and surrealist pioneers like Meret Oppenheim and Niki de Saint Phalle, Kocher brings a poetic, intuitive, and distinctly feminine voice to the field of contemporary art.
Her work is held in numerous public and private collections throughout Switzerland. In Bern, she is represented in the collections of the Canton of Bern, the City of Bern, the Swiss Confederation, UBS, and the Berner Kantonalbank. In Biel/Bienne, her works are included in both the Pasquart Art Centre and the Municipal Collection. Other collections include BSI in Lugano, the Kunst(Zeug)Haus in Rapperswil, the Museum Allerheiligen in Schaffhausen, and the collections of Julius Bär and the Swiss National Bank in Zurich.

Anna Gigon
Born 1975, Switzerland
Grew up between Poland and Switzerland and is currently based between Switzerland and France.
She grew up in the studio of a painter who was a close friend of her parents, and has been painting since early childhood. Art soon became an essential part of her life, pursued alongside her academic studies at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland, where she studied art history, philosophy, pedagogy, and cultural institution management.
For the past seven years, she has devoted herself exclusively to painting. Part of her practice is figurative, exploring the relationship between space and femininity. Her images intentionally avoid psychological narrative, allowing the viewer to interpret the story. Painting, for her, becomes a playground where the interaction between body and setting takes on symbolic meaning.
Abstraction also plays a significant role in her work, forming a parallel sequence. Her mental images are translated rapidly onto the canvas, freeing both her mind and gaze from the constraints of manual control. Drawing on techniques akin to automatic writing, and deeply rooted in spatial intuition and the power of color, this approach enables her to access intimate frequencies of perception and draw inspiration from the emotional and temporal currents of her personal life.

Jean-Luc Berger
Born 1960, Switzerland
Lives and works in Vaud, Switzerland
Jean-Luc Berger is a Swiss painter known for his photorealistic vedutes that infuse the language of contemporary art with light, stillness, and emotional depth. His landscapes — often centered on Lavaux, Lac Léman, and the villages of Pully and Rivaz — suspend time with quiet precision. Art critics have referred to him as “the poet of figurative painting.”
A graduate in graphic design, Berger spent two decades working as an art director in the advertising industry before dedicating himself fully to painting in 1995. His visual language reflects both the compositional clarity of design and the contemplative resonance of fine art.
“A picture is worth 100,000 words,” he often says — a principle that underpins his entire practice.
Drawing inspiration from classical landscape traditions and philosophical reflections on beauty, Berger embraces a metamodern sensibility: sincere, emotional, and self-aware. His work is a meditation on stillness, presence, and the shared human experience.
“The more I advance on this path, the more I realize that sharing what we create with others is never a trivial act.
Beauty, I believe, transcends language.
I’ve always held close Dostoevsky’s idea that ‘beauty will save the world’.
Some say that contemporary art should provoke rather than be beautiful — but the two are not mutually exclusive.”

Olesiya Zippelt
Born in 1976 in Monchegorsk, Russia
Lives and works in Belgrade, Serbia
Graduated from the Ilya Repin St. Petersburg Academy of Arts, Olesia Zyppelt approaches the human figure with surgical precision and emotional clarity. Her recent Sports Series captures athletes not in motion, but in the split second before it — moments of pure potential energy, monumental and silent.
Inspired by the legacy of Diego Rivera and Soviet-era masters like Alexander Deineka and Rodchenko, Zyppelt blends graphic directness with painterly control. Vivid color fields meet monochrome restraint, evoking the aesthetics of 20th-century social realism — yet her gaze is deeply contemporary, personal, and meditative.
There’s an architectural stillness in her compositions, yet the tension hums beneath the surface — a fragile balance between cosmic vastness and human vulnerability.
Her work is also represented online via DEL’ARTE Gallery, where her visual language continues to reach an international audience.
Artist Statement
My artworks are the result of an intentional fusion of an academic approach to oil painting with the graphic precision of architectural sketches. I use this combination to reveal motion within the stillness of human figures — a vital tool for exploring balance between opposing states.
My academic background in both fine art and architecture gives me a particular strength in creating compositions that balance the infinite vastness of space with the intimacy of the human body. This artistic inquiry into humanity’s place in the world drives me to seek solutions that are both precise and meaningful.
My art deliberately diverges from the mainstream. It allows me to express my vision freely, without overcomplicating ideas through excessive means. I want viewers to engage with the cosmos in an accessible way — to feel gravity with their eyes alone.
We are all seeking equilibrium, both literal and metaphorical. My paintings embody this state — fragile, unstable, yet deeply desired.

Nataliia Korf-Ivaniuck
Born 1985 in Kremenchuk, Ukraine
Lives and works in Ukraine
Nataliia Korf-Ivaniuck holds a Master’s degree in Fine Arts and was formerly a lecturer at the Poltava National Technical University. Since 2002, she has participated in national and international exhibitions and plein air programs. In 2010, she became a member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine. At the exhibition, she presents works from the SIGN series — monumental canvases created using her original “pictorial relief” technique. These textured compositions are inspired by traditional Ukrainian white-on-white embroidery, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. Her paintings evoke sacred sign-reliefs — visual totems woven with ancestral memory and imprinted into our collective subconscious.

Enelyne Brader-Frank
Born 1970, Switzerland
Lives and works between Switzerland and Canada
Evelyne Brader-Frank is a contemporary Swiss sculptor known for her minimalist yet sensual interpretations of the human form. Working primarily with marble, bronze, steel, and soapstone, she creates graceful female silhouettes that oscillate between abstraction and figuration.
Her sculptural language draws from classical and mythological archetypes, celebrating strength, elegance, and emotional depth.
Trained in both Switzerland and Canada, Brader-Frank has exhibited internationally for over 25 years. Her works are held in numerous private and public collections, including the Medici Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. Her 2023 homage to Joan Miró in Majorca, presented by Gallery RED, exemplified her ability to connect personal vision with artistic legacy, blending Mediterranean sensuality with formal precision.
In 2024–2025, her sculpture The Hug is on view at the DIFC Sculpture Park in Dubai.
Each of her pieces invites an intimate encounter with material, light, and presence. Brader-Frank lives and works between Widen, Switzerland, and Canada.
