Jacqueline Schreier (Lausanne, Switzerland, 1936) is a multidisciplinary artist whose career combines illustration, painting, sculpture, and textile art. Trained at the Zurich School of Fine Arts, her professional path began in illustration and animation, developing across countries such as Canada, Italy, Norway, Venezuela, and Spain. For more than four decades, she has lived in the Sierra of Madrid, where she has consolidated a personal and ever-evolving artistic language.
Her style ranges from figuration to lyrical abstraction and minimalism, in a continuous search for new forms of expression. Schreier works with diverse techniques such as dyes on silk and paper, acrylic on canvas and wood, and has also explored weaving and looms using wool and organic materials for abstract textile works. In sculpture, she combines ceramics, metal, and wood with a playful and expressive approach, where humor and fantasy play a central role.
Critics have highlighted how Schreier integrates the playful and the dreamlike in her work, creating imaginary landscapes where the sun, the moon, forests, animals, and other natural elements become protagonists of magical and narrative worlds. This fusion of humor, nature, and abstraction transforms her art into a unique space of aesthetic exploration.
Throughout her career, Jacqueline Schreier has taken part in over 40 solo and group exhibitions in Switzerland, Spain, and other countries, presenting her work in renowned institutions and galleries such as the Galerie of the Zurich Cantonal Bank. Her international recognition and the coherence of her style establish her as a reference within contemporary art.
At And-Art Works, audiences can discover an artistic production that bridges tradition and contemporaneity, marked by a strong creative vocation and a tireless spirit of experimentation.
