'oliver haefeli

His Art seems to represent reflections of surreal, visionary dreams and are expressions of sensuous images of the subconscious. Images on the the powerful borderline frictions of Freuds psycology. To explore his visions, he developed different techniques:

Complex mixed media on canvas combining painting, print and digital.

An impulsive, powerful act of painting executed directly on large format paper.

Hyperrealistic, large format charcoal drawings on vellum.

In his other life, he is an internationally awarded Product an Graphic Designer. He has worked in Zurich, Hamburg an Warsaw as Creative Director and leading Senior Designer.

He now is partner of "The-Lateral-Company", a boutique for Innovation.
