Pixel out form 2 (2019) Painting by Ursula Daeppen (La Orsa)

Ursula Daeppen, known as La Orsa, is a versatile artist whose ever-evolving oeuvre reflects an inner journey fueled by decades of creativity and exploration. Drawn to the haunting beauty of visual art as a child, she began delving into art in 1979, seeking new and profound ways to express her emotions. As a freelance artist, Ursula imposes no limits on style or medium; her art is a spontaneous flow, a dance of mixed media, blending painting, photography, and digital work.

Her creative process, based on emotion and instinct, varies depending on her state of mind. One day, she expresses herself through photography to capture a fleeting mood; the next, she turns to painting, infusing her works with energy and spirituality. This creative freedom gives her works a unique resonance, inviting each viewer to project their own interpretation, to feel and explore based on their personal experiences and memories.

Inspired by the beauty of the world around her, Ursula dedicates hours to exploring nature and the textures of everyday life, which she often merges into her creations. Her digital works printed on canvas, enriched with acrylic paint and textures, transcend the boundaries of the plane, oscillating between the two-dimensional and the three-dimensional.

Resolutely modest and withdrawn, she leads a discreet life, absorbing inspirations from all over the world to translate them into her work. Ursula embodies an art in perpetual movement, capable of metamorphosis, offering each piece the chance to express a complex and nuanced vision of the world, marked by a rare freedom and personal depth.
