In his artistic practice, Stettler not only experiments with the limits of the medium itself but also expands the possibilities of its presentation. His paintings are inspired by observations from his everyday life and an impression of general oversaturation. By carrying his individual experiences into his practice, Stettler creates a unique painterly language. The resulting colour-intensive paintings meander between figurative and abstract elements, grasping the attention of the viewers.
