Description

In The Village, Jacqueline Schreier reconnects with a childhood memory: the illustrations from old storybooks she used to read before sleeping. The work emerged intuitively, allowing shapes to appear one after another until a small magical world took form—an enchanted village surrounded by trees and soft hills. Schreier, an artist with a background in illustration and design, brings her narrative sensitivity into this piece, blending it with her later explorations in collage, mixed techniques, and small-scale sculpture.

Painted in acrylic on canvas and presented with a subtle wooden frame, the artwork depicts a European village set within a lush forest in green and blue tones. The geometric houses—with pyramid-shaped roofs and gentle colors such as pink, beige, and soft orange—recall the visual language of traditional tales by Andersen or the Brothers Grimm. The scene can be read as nocturnal or twilight, illuminated by a delicate light that softens the entire landscape.

At the top of the hill, an idealized castle acts as the focal point of this imaginary setting, emphasizing the artist’s affinity for playful, narrative, and dreamlike atmospheres. In a style that is difficult to classify, the work combines fantasy, contemporary illustration, and color to create a serene environment filled with charm. The artwork measures 60 × 60 × 2 cm (23.6 × 23.6 × 0.8 in), and with the frame 62.5 × 62.5 × 5 cm (24.6 × 24.6 × 2 in).

The Village is ideal for children’s rooms, hallways, reading areas, or any interior seeking warmth, imagination, and visual serenity. Its storybook atmosphere and soft palette make it a perfect choice for spaces that wish to include art with a fantastical, gentle, and timeless character, aligned with the aesthetic vision of And-Art Works.

Artist

Jacqueline Schreier

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.
