I painted the Biel Gate in Solothurn because its quiet strength and weathered stones moved me deeply. As one of the few remaining parts of the old city wall, it carries the memory of Solothurn before the Baroque era, and I wanted to capture that sense of timelessness. Standing before it, I felt connected to generations who passed through this gateway, and that emotion guided every brushstroke. This artwork is my tribute to the city’s enduring spirit, and I hope it brings the same feeling of history and serenity to your home.
