Pierre Schwarzenbach

January, 28th 1950

Since his early youth, Pierre Schwarzenbach‘s life has been characterized by creativity – whether he is painting, cooking or playing music. He always addresses the fresh challenges he meets in search of new horizons. While attending high school he acquired his basic painting skills at the studio of the Zurich painter Klaus Däniker and later at the “Fachochschule Krefeld“, Germany. It was here that he deepened his knowledge in several artistic techniques including designing textile fabrics.
