PATRICK EGGER

Lives in Switzerland

Self-taught artist, Patrick Egger was trained as a forester, later becoming a teacher, until the 60s, when he settled in La Creusaz that painting became his calling. After experimenting with charcoal and pastels, he ultimately turned to acrylic painting, which suited his highly intuitive approach to art. His main focus is figurative landscapes, ranging from realistic to hyperrealistic. Through his artworks, one can sense an unceasing quest for sensations tied to the beauty of places. Moved by contrasting atmospheres, he enjoys juxtaposing the tranquility of the mountains with the ruggedness of the alpine environment. Contrastes Acrylic on canvas 80 x 60 cm
