about me
my name is cel, and I was born in the heart of switzerland, surrounded by the stunning mountains and serene landscapes that have always been a backdrop to my creativity. from a young age, I’ve been drawn to the world of art, finding joy in sketching, drawing, and creating. my passion for detailed and realistic artwork has always been a guiding force in my artistic journey.
in 2020, I rediscovered my passion for creativity. with more time and space to focus, I dove back into my art, embracing the freedom to explore new ideas and expressions. drawing inspiration from my love for skating, snowboarding, and surfing, I developed a distinctive artistic style that blends realism with bold, fluid expression.
for me, creating art is not just a form of self-expression; it’s a form of meditation. the process of drawing, painting, and designing helps me quiet my mind and connect deeply with my feelings. it's a therapeutic practice that allows me to work through emotions, gain clarity, and find peace — a way of turning internal chaos into something tangible and beautiful.
over the years, I also embraced a nomadic lifestyle. I spent a long period traveling through europe in my van, living the gypsy life. this freedom, the constant movement, and the connection to new places and people had a huge impact on my art and my perspective on life. every new landscape and experience added layers to my creativity and opened my eyes to the endless possibilities of living freely, wherever the road might lead.
​
this journey of self-expression has not only transformed the way I create but has also brought a deep sense of fulfillment. it’s given me a harmonious balance between my passions for art, adventure, and the freedom of the outdoors. through this evolution, i found myself taking my art a step further by bringing it to life on t-shirts. to my surprise, the response has been overwhelmingly positive, and i realized that my designs resonated with others in a meaningful way.
since then, I’ve been dedicated to refining my work, launching new collections, and sharing my vision with the world. I've had the privilege of showcasing my art in pop-up stores and have successfully launched my own online shop, allowing me to reach a global audience. along the way, i’ve had the opportunity to collaborate on custom projects, which have been both creatively enriching and personally fulfilling.
in the summer of 2023, my journey took a new direction when I traveled to indonesia. the beauty of the landscapes, the vibrant culture, and the energy of island life left a profound impact on me. the connection to the ocean, the endless horizons, and the simplicity of living in harmony with nature deeply inspired me.
this experience was a catalyst for change, and i made the bold decision to relocate to a place that embodies the essence of what inspires me — somewhere close to the ocean and the sources of my creativity.now, I’m living and creating in a space that nurtures my soul and fuels my artistic expression every day.
I’m excited to share this new chapter with you and invite you to follow along as i continue to explore, create, and evolve.thank you for being a part of this journey with me. stay tuned for new designs, collections, and collaborations, and join me in celebrating the beauty of creativity, freedom, and connection.
love,
cel
