Irruption lumineuse dans le sous-bois (2021) Painting by Patrick Egger

Patrick Egger, a contemporary and award-winning Swiss painter, embarked on his artistic journey at the threshold of his sixties while residing in the picturesque Marécottes nestled in the Mont-Blanc massif. It was here that the world of painting, like the grandeur of the mountains surrounding him, unveiled itself to Egger.

The splendor of the landscapes, where the mountains reign supreme, became the wellspring of inspiration for Patrick. Initially drawn to the expressive potential of charcoal and pastel, he eventually found his artistic voice in the vibrant medium of acrylic painting.

In each stroke of his brush, Patrick Egger manifests the serenity and joy that art brings to his soul. His paintings become visual hymns to the places that captivate him, embodying an unwavering quest for sensations tied to the beauty inherent in these landscapes.

Egger's artistic vision is marked by a profound appreciation for contrasting atmospheres. He skillfully intertwines the tranquility of mountain landscapes with the ruggedness of the Alpine terrain. Each of Patrick Egger's paintings serves as a stage set by nature itself—a vertical world adorned with rocks and ice, a horizon bathed in the soft embrace of mist, undulating landscapes beneath the warmth of an autumn sun or the crisp blue freshness of a winter dawn.

Through the vibrant hues and evocative scenes, Patrick Egger's artworks invite viewers to share in his reverence for the majesty of the Alpine environment. His paintings not only capture the external grandeur but also offer a glimpse into the artist's internal landscape—a world brimming with gratitude, serenity, and the joy found in the act of creation.
