Oh Paris Bird... you bow our strings with your winter resonance. The heavenly gray of a frozen winter pond. so smooth and full, surrounded by dried yellow grasses, always one of the most touching of sights. And all this offset by the darkest, richest of browns singing its depth of spirit as it pushes into the foreground. And that burgundy glow surrounding this most gorgeous darkness as it evaporates into the most hopeful of winter skies.
Verena Baumann was born in Solothurn, Switzerland in 1964. She began making experimental photographs on her own as a teenager. In her early 20's she studied graphic design in Berne, but her driving interests were in the fine arts. She embarked on a career as a painter for the next 26 years, having her first solo exposition in Olten, Switzerland in 1994, which led to 8 other solo expositions. While in Paris in 2005, Baumann bought a digital camera to document her paintings, and soon found herself photographing on her daily walks. Suddenly her teenage love of experimental photography blossomed.
