Meet The Artist
Joachim Oettli
Modern Artist
Born March 1, 1965 in Thurgau, Switzerland, his exposure in the field of Social Pedagogy has made him internalize the holistic approach of art – art that is part of our being, it is in our soul and not just something that is studied in order to be appreciated or understood. His belief has led him to express art through his pieces that can be appreciated not just by seasoned art afficionados but everyone who gets to see his masterpiece. Through his impressive educational background, graduated Cum Laude – Master’s Degree in Expressive Arts Therapy, he is also challenged working with young kids having Behavioral Disorders in his current residence for many years now in Zurich, Switzerland. For he strongly believes – Art Heals!
