Hello!
My name is Tanja and I am an Artist. I was born in 1998 in the quaint municipality of Balgach, Switzerland. My educational journey led me to Altstätten, where I had the privilege of experiencing a specialized artistic enrichment program during my school years.
At the age of 15, I proudly presented my first art exhibition at BalgArt, marking the beginning of a series of exhibition in Rheineck, St. Gallen and Goldach. Followed by my apprenticeship as a textile designer, my academic path shifted towards animation studies at the University of Design and Art in Lucerne.
Having completed my degree in 2022, I furthered my studies in Ludwigsburg
(Germany), where I recently graduated with a master’s degree in animation at the renowned
Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg. For my final project, I explored the intersection of analog technology and film. Now, having completed my studies, I am working independently as a freelance artist.
The focal point of my artistic work lies in the exploration of my emotions. I want people to be able to see and feel what I feel. My paintings always take up the challenge of making tangible exactly what cannot actually be seen. They communicate with the most diverse techniques on the most diverse materials. Through photorealistic depictions, I encapsulate the essence of my emotions within surreal compositions.
