Walser is a Swiss artist and graduate architect from the ETH Zurich, born in 1970 in the Canton of Graubünden. After completing a scientific high school, where Walser integrated drawing as an additional subject, she graduated in architecture from ETH Zurich, gaining deep knowledge in color theory, shapes, materials, perspective, and the study of the natural environment.
After graduation, Walser worked in renowned architecture firms, primarily in the Zürich area. Between 2004 and 2005, she began exploring action painting, a technique that allowed her to break free from the rigid constraints of architecture. She discovered the dialogue between the unconscious, color, and movement, a process she describes as "a magical flow."
From 2004 to 2010, Walser held several solo exhibitions in Switzerland, including in Zürich, Lake Zürich, Zug and Graubünden, a region with a strong personal connection due to her childhood spent in the mountains.
Passionate about modern architecture and modern art, Walser is also influenced by nature and internal dialogs with her unconcous, creating large canvases, that represent personal realms and oases of well-being. Her work also delves into social and psychological themes, exploring how colors affect the human psyche through a continuous dialogue with her own art.
In 2017, she moved to Veneto, Italy, where she now lives and works with her family. Since 2021, she has participated in numerous art fairs, solo exhibitions, and group shows across Italy.
