The internationally award-winning Swiss landscape photographer Oliver Wehrli has combined photography and nature to create images that speak a silent and mystical yet haunting language.
Oliver Wehrli describes himself as a “light painter”. He captures the subtle nuances of light to create works that show the beauty and depth of nature in a unique form of artistic expression. He mainly uses a large-format analog camera to immerse himself in the deep silence of nature without artificial techniques or embellished side effects. What he sees is captured in its real, abstract, almost inconspicuous form when the light hits the film through the lens and exposes it. His works have already won several international awards.
His sense of aesthetics is evident in his works, which he pursues and realizes down to the last detail.Each of his art paintings is printed on selected fine art paper and produced by hand in Switzerland using high-quality materials. Each work embodies his philosophy “Pure Photo Art - Analog Soul in Fine Art Frames”. With his extensive experience, Oliver has a sensitivity that allows him to precisely visualize the ideas and implement them in his works.
