Welcome to Artfoyer, an independent art space in Faellanden, Switzerland, close to the shores of Greifensee. The current exhibition of watercolors by artist Anca Sinpalean explores the transition from winter to spring.
I am a Romanian artist and curator living and working in Switzerland since 2006. For me, curating and making art are two complementary ways of researching life, as well as two great channels for creating connections between people. I was trained as a painter in Romania in the 90s at the Cluj-Napoca Art School and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bucharest, where I obtained my Masters degree in Visual Arts in 2005. After arriving in Switzerland in 2006, I studied at the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste and got my Master in Advanced Studies in Curating in 2010. This is when I started to curate exhibitions, manage an art space, and act as an artist-curator on the Zurich art scene. For the past two years I have been focusing on watercolor as a medium, fascinated by its intrinsic qualities, like its potential for capturing light. The works are mostly realistic explorations of nature and strive for simplicity of gesture and motives.
