Simone Eisenbeiss
My name is Simone Eisenbeiss, and I am from Switzerland. I discovered animal conservation as a child, inspired by my mother who dedicated her life to saving animals from horrible conditions around the world. I have had an unbreakable connection with animals since I was a toddler. This unspoken language between two species is the inspiration for my art. Art has always been central to my life, but I never thought it would have such a strong impact on others. From a young age, I have been involved with direct action organizations helping animals, as well as child victims of war, abuse, and exploitation.
I chose to study medicine in university because I wanted to help the world after completing my degree, but during my studies, I barely had time to express myself through art. Now, I use my art to focus on the light and darkness of the world that I have witnessed through my volunteer experiences, expressing it in my own Surrealistic style. The effect that art has on people's lives is fascinating, and it has become my duty to speak up for the voiceless on our planet. By fusing my art with animal activism, I am fighting with passion and creativity to protect our planet. No matter where we live or what language we speak, art touches our souls and has the power to change the world.
