Catch your dreams (2005) Painting by Erwin Bruegger

Erwin Bruegger, artist photographer, recently retired from the world of work to devote himself fully to his art. From a young age, he was passionate about the beauty of nature and life in general. Driven by a desire to discover the world, he learned several languages ​​and at the age of 21 he traveled to Brazil to teach children in a household using his skills as a carpenter.

Back in Switzerland, Erwin Bruegger felt the need to explore his artistic expression to share the beauty of the world with others. He took drawing and painting classes at the Neue Kunstschule Zürich, where he began drawing and painting in his spare time, exploring his independence and artistic freedom. His approach is intuitive, based on the present moment, where he can express himself fully without constraining himself, exploring the human figure with playful innocence and serious quest.

His work is rich and varied, ranging from figurative to works inspired by Jackson Pollock, then venturing into surrealism and sometimes even Dadaism, nourished by his unconscious. This diversity reflects his personal and unique path in art, marked by constant evolution and a refusal of conventions.

Erwin Bruegger has participated in numerous exhibitions in Switzerland and abroad. His works have been published in several art magazines and specialist books, notably in "futuro" in December-January 2006/07, Artgate in March 2012, Art and Design in May 2016, as well as in books such as "Current Masters II " and "The Best Modern and Contemporary artists" in 2016. He has been awarded twice by Artavita for his artistic excellence.

His work is also represented in public and private collections around the world, with works exhibited in a museum in Denmark and two others in Las Vegas. His creations have found buyers in Switzerland, Italy, France, the United States, the Netherlands, Hungary, Canada and Brazil, attesting to his international success and universal appeal.
