“My work begins with a feeling—something unresolved. I collect fragments: images, sounds, memories. Instinct guides me more than routine. I often pause, return with distance, and see with new eyes. Inspiration comes from nature, personal history, and quiet observation. Before I begin, I listen. After, I reflect. Each piece is a process of becoming—shaped by time, emotion, and the need to understand.”
Nic Hoesli (*1995) is a Swiss artist whose interdisciplinary practice explores connection and reconciliation with the non-human world. Working across painting, video, sound, ceramics, textiles, performance, and installation, his nature-rooted work reflects personal transformation and challenges dominant cultural narratives. He holds an MFA from Zurich University of the Arts and has exhibited at Helmhaus Zurich, Photobastei, and Trudelhaus Baden.
