finding who?
Finding Oskari - to explain the choosing of this name, you need to get to know Oskari.
​
Since 2014 Oskari swims by my side. He's adventurous, brave, energetic, creative, joyous and passionated. On a daily basis he reminds me of these attributes and lends me some - when needed.
​
I painted Oskari on my very first handmade longboard back in 2014. It was the first time in my "adult" life that I painted. Ever since it's difficult to imagine a life without it. While creating Oskari I found my passion and confidence to create. I hope to continuously find Oskari in different aspects of my life over and over again - to be open and ready for what is to come.
"to find Oskari is to find inspiration, passion & courage. Over and over again."
who I am
Hi, I' m Muriel.
I live and create in Lucerne, Switzerland.
I am an artist and physiotherapist.
Playing with paints is an important access point to myself. Painting allows me to influence my breathing, my pulse and my mindfulness - with myself and my surroundings.
Painting is my way to create, feel, conquer and share emotions.
Back in 2014 I started drawing as a way to support my mental health. Ever since, painting is a big part of my being and on top of my list of resources.
The first few years I was fascinated by patterns and dotwork. In 2018 I dared to pick up brushes and paints in order to create Hector - my first ever mural. It s been my weapon of choice ever since.
​
At the moment I experiment with the combination of acrylics, oil pastels and pencils on canvas and paper. I also started to appreciate the possibilities of digital art. And grab every opportunity to paint on a wall!
​
On the next strip you ll see what I enjoy most besides creating.
