About Gabriela
Ever since I can think, I had a passion for Art and everything beautiful. Growing up in Switzerland, not a day has gone by without holding paints, markers and paper in my hands. This has not changed but expanded: today many more paint medias have joined as well as materials like wood, concrete, clay, fiberglas, and many more. My education as a Fashion designer was just the beginning: As a jung entrepreneur, establishing my own company in the fashion industry gave me the ability to fully live my vision and the need to goal orientated working. Soon my interests broadened into furniture and deco design. In addition, I educated my self further in the fine arts in London (GB), were exhibitions in Bermuda of my paintings and sculptures followed. My work has found homes in many different countries. My 16 years in London, the USA and Bermuda have broadened and enriched my horizon incredibly in many aspects. From all the places we lived and visited, I took impressions and unforgettable memories. These flow into my art and designs of everything formable: the celebration of color, the influence and impression of different cultures and customs, which connects everything. In 2008 my family and I moved back to Switzerland to embark on another exiting journey of live. “I feel blessed to be able to leave my passion every day of my life”

Über Gabriela
Seit ich denken kann, habe ich ich mich für die Kunst und alles schöne interessiert. Aufgewachsen in der Schweiz, schon als Kind ist kein Tag vergangen, an dem ich nicht Stifte, Farbe und Papier in meinen Händen gehalten habe. Und heute - nichts hat sich daran geändert. Natürlich haben sich viele andere Medien dazu gesellt. Meine Ausbildung als Fashion Designer und meine eigene Firma war nur der Anfang. Es gesellten sich Möbel und Deko Design dazu, sowie viele Weiterbildungen in den feinen Künsten in London. Meine 16 Jahre in London, den USA und Bermuda haben meinen Horizont in vielen Aspekten unglaublich erweitert und bereichert. Von überall habe ich Eindrücke und unfergessliche Erinnerungen mitgenommen - das knowhow in der Kunst, das zelebrieren der Farben, verschiedene Kulturen und Bräuche und die Harmonie die alles verbindet.2008 hat es mich und meine Familie wieder in die Schweiz gezogen. “Ich schätze mich glücklich, dass ich meine Passion jeden Tag leben darf.”
