Christian is born in 1960, in Switzerland, where he grew up. Life took its toll, and after overcoming a darkness-filled youth, Christian went threw a significant period of self-reflection. He first chose to orientate towards a social work path. Training and practicing as an educator, he eventually ended up directing a troubled youth institute, helping hundreds of those in the same situation he once was... While always attracted by arts as a spectator, nothing in Christian's journey pointed him at the direction of an actual artistic pursuit; it took in fact loads of encounters with artists to awaken his desire to create. Then finally came 2007, it was the time he would blindfoldy step into the world of painting & sculpting. The following period would be marked by significant bouts of insomnia, resulting in substantial health issues. But as days and nights offered him plenty, he decided to make time his ally, and so began working relentlesly on his artistic feelings. After a couple of experimental years, in 2011, the target really narrowed down. He needed to express himself without constraints. He just had to be there and do it. Acrylic, oil, soft pastel, marker, clay, plaster, and bronze are among the materials he employs to draw, paint, and sculpt his inner words. Wood, paper, metal, canvas, clay, and bronze are the primary supports he inhabits with his colors. Christian's always at work, driven by the need to evolve and renew without denying himself, embracing both the dark and the bright that constantly flow his mind.

He's expressing through accumulations of forms, deformities, dots, or even writings, populating his canvases of all kinds of tales and stories. What he creates certainly not speak to some, but his inspiration comes from his very essence. He's guided by what wants to emerge, instinctively, and got to let it out, as raw as it comes. No sugar coating here. The perfect world is something that eludes him and something he wants to escape from. Change of styles? Search of his own? Christian feels that he has surpassed that stage and now finds himself in the plurality of expressive modes. One support, one way or one style, would not be enough to canalyze the emotions he's trying to let out. His influences are diverse, but the Cobra movement, Outsider Art, and artists like Van Gogh, Munch, Giacometti, Lam, Soutter, as well as Klee, Lapicque, Combas, and Basquiat, are crucial references. When asked if his work actually is art, his response speaks for itself: "As I find it difficult to determine if what one does is art, I prefer to say this: "What I know is that what I do, I do with a minimum of constraints. It is a natural progression towards harmony, between who I am and what I do. I let different supports or materials guide my hand, my heart, and my thoughts. The spontaneous and the constructed overlap, confront, and even complement each other. I don't want to show anything off; my purest desire is to bring forth common places to every inner being."
