Irmgard Risch is a Swiss painter whose abstract works center on the dynamic between light, shadow, and stillness. Growing up in an artist family, she has pursued creative work since youth, developing a deep personal connection to art. Largely self-taught, she has expanded her practice through continuing education and exhibitions. Drawing inspiration from nature, memory, and emotion, Risch builds her compositions in layers, blending acrylic, oil, chalk, charcoal, pigments, and structural materials on canvas. Her process merges drawing and painting into transparent, textured surfaces that evoke depth, change, and an atmosphere of longing and mystery.
