About My Journey
Born in 1969 in Biel/Bienne, Youri Laubscher González has been exploring the points of friction between artistic vision and design expertise for over three decades. Trained in graphic design at the School of Applied Arts in La Chaux-de-Fonds, he has shaped his visual language through collaborations in Barcelona, Zurich, Basel, Solothurn, and Bern. Today, he lives in Bern with his partner and is fully devoted to artistic creation — a fluid space where painting, performance, and digital art intersect. He is also the father of a daughter.
Art as Metamorphosis: between inner chaos, perception, and transformation
Youri Laubscher González is a painter and multidisciplinary artist. His work moves between chaos and structure, matter and memory. For over three decades, he has explored the raw edges of human experience, layering gestures, accidents, and transformations into images that feel both intimate and universal.
His paintings are intense, raw, and visceral — sometimes inhabited by fractured figures, sometimes unfolding as abstract terrains that echo the landscapes of memory. They hold the tension between control and surrender, where imperfection becomes language and the unfinished breathes with its own rhythm.
In live performances, painting merges with digital projection and sound to create immersive environments that shift in real time. No script, no fixed outcome — each gesture becomes part of a living dialogue where the work itself seems to choose its own path.
