Ernest Voegeli
Backlight at Clarins Port by Ernest Voegeli - Oil on Canvas 33x43 cm

About the Item

Ernest Voegeli is an artist who has found his path through a combination of solid technique and a clear, insightful approach to color, form, and composition. While his work is primarily inspired by nature, it never falls into mere “naturalism” that simply imitates reality; rather, it retains a sense of poetic transformation, enriching his art with deeper layers of meaning. With great mastery, Vogeli tackles the major genres of easel painting—portrait, landscape, and still life—with unquestionable authority in each. His use of color is essential, not only to define shapes but to reveal the very essence of the objects he portrays, capturing their deep, vital constitution. This ability to express the inner life of objects is what gives his still lifes such powerful “presence.” These works transcend mere representation, inviting the viewer into a more profound and reflective experience. What sets his painting apart is his attention to the inherent beauty of things, prioritizing poetry over anecdote. His art reflects not only an exquisite sensitivity to the wonders of creation but also a profound honesty and technical mastery that showcase a fully realized and authentic talent. Through his work, Voegeli honor Swiss painting, offering a valuable artistic legacy that deserves recognition and gratitude. Artwork sold with frame (57.5x48 cm)
