Schwander
Robert

My name is Robert Schwander, born in 1961 in Lucerne and raised on a farm in Römerswil. I spent many years of my life working as a farmer, which has profoundly shaped my deep connection to nature. In parallel, I pursued my artistic practice as a self-taught artist, drawing inspiration from biodynamic agriculture. These concepts — which emphasize balance and the vitality of nature — have not only influenced my work on the farm but also my creative process.

For me, it’s about finding balance — in nature, in life, and in art. Biodynamic agriculture teaches us that nature is a living system in which every element is connected, and this idea is reflected in my paintings.

As an artist, I strive to explore the deep connections between humans, nature, and the invisible forces of life. In my work, I address the harmony and tensions that exist within our environment and seek to make them visible.
