Ironwood (2022) Painting by Michel Jegerlehner

Michel Jegerlehner, photographer and illustrator, is immersed daily in the world of visual arts.

In 1987, he founded his own illustration and photo retouching company, where he mainly used airbrushing to create bespoke illustrations in response to specific orders from graphic design and communication companies. His work leads to the realization of major advertising campaigns, some of which have been distinguished by prestigious awards.

Over the years, he worked closely with Marty Design, an internationally renowned designer, to create a large fresco exhibited at the UPSA Training Center in Yverdon-les-Bains.

Michel Jegerlehner has also been a tattoo artist for many years, winning numerous awards at conventions dedicated to tattooing. His skin etched works have been featured in specialist magazines, and he had the honor of having his work published in a tattoo book edited by acclaimed fantasy artist, Anne Stokes.

These captivating professions allowed him to refine his own artistic sensibility. As a contemporary artist, his graphic, colorful and precise style has earned him participation in collective and individual exhibitions.

Photography also occupies a significant place in his life. A detail, an element, an angle of view or a singular light captures his attention and he immortalizes them through his lens, thus revealing his acute sense of visual aesthetics.
