Marcel Freymond

«Painting meets my claim for the arts: It asks questions and offers insight at the same time. It makes me happy.»

Marcel Freymond considers painting as the most primary form of fine arts. He moulds the brushstroke until it becomes a relief. The three-dimensional paint evolves into an object and develops its own independent existence. He creates an image space in a certain process, in which the brushstroke is staged.
