Art about
light and shadow,
day and night,
life and death.
My work is a tribute to the pure, untamed essence of nature. The silence of the Alps become symbols of strength and origin in my work.
Through the contrast of light and darkness, I explore the universal opposites that shape us all: life and death, stillness and movement, impermanence and endurance.
There is a particular stillness found in high alpine spaces — a silence not of absence, but of presence.
In this silence, light and shadow no longer appear as mere visual contrasts, but as states of being.
My paintings do not wish to describe nature.
It wants to hold the moment in which nature becomes inner space.
Rather than depicting nature, I seek to internalize it. Through layered surfaces, subtle tonal shifts and a reduced visual language, my paintings aim to create spaces of stillness.
Layers are applied, then concealed. Surfaces emerge, then are broken again.
A meditative encounter with impermanence, silence and the quiet presence of what remains.
Stefanie Raymann (born 1991 in Switzerland) is a contemporary artist whose work reflects her deep connection to the Alpine landscape and the passage
of time.
Her large-scale acrylic paintings explore the interplay of light and shadow, stillness and transformation, translating natural phenomena into meditative visual spaces.
Having studied at the Lucerne School of Graphic Design (2009–2013), Raymann’s sensitivity to composition and reduction informs her contemplative visual language.
Having spent much of her life in the Swiss Alps, Raymann now lives and works in Vienna, Austria, where she continues to investigate themes of nature, impermanence, and inner resonance through her painterly practice.
