Sandro Gebert
Swiss-American Painter
My work combines bold, graphic shapes with layers of texture and symbols with hidden meaning.
Iām inspired by playful surrealism, using exaggerated, whimsical shapes to create figures that feel both familiar and strange. These characters become archetypes, inviting viewers to create their own narratives.
The backgrounds are layered with vintage text, giving a sense of history and adding depth. The worn texture of old book pages contrasts with the modern, graphic figures, connecting the past with the present. I use mostly black and white but add pops of bright color to make the compositions feel more lively and balanced.
Influenced by the language of street art, my work includes raw, unpolished elements that give each piece a spontaneous feel. My style breaks traditional boundaries, making the work feel both accessible and immediate.
Ultimately, my art is about conveying emotion and symbolism through simplified forms. Each piece invites viewers into a dialogue, where they can find their own meaning. Through a mix of graphic simplicity and hidden layers, I aim to create work that is visually striking and rich with possibility.
