URS STEIGER was born on 25th of may 1956 in Wattwil, switzerland
In 1990 he went to visit Ecuador and he was fascinated about this marvelous
country with its beautiful landscapes and seasights, unique on earth
Two years later he decided to leave switzerland and settle himself in Ecuador
where he got married
he loved always art and he made friendship with some artits of Riobamba
where he lived before
when he visited on a saturday in march 2000 a friend in his studio he found himself
with a brush in his hand and his friend told him "you are also an artist"
factor that helped to think about colors, drawings, paintings etc
his mind was definive contaminated with art and the influence of "Gemini" began
to show its power
after a while working with coal drawing he painted his first canvas with ordinary
paint and it wasn't even bad so he started with oil
later another friend (artist of course) needed to learn German, so urs interchanged
his knowledge and got in turn basic techniques to get better in his art
The very famous artist worldwide MIGUEL YAULEMA helped him to get forward and
of course gave him many important advices until finally he nearly forced urs to make
his first exhibition
from the very first beginning dominated his huge imagination his work
"sometimes the real thing is very far from the reality and other times real things
are not true" the artist says
his deep concern about nature in extermination reflects in many of his pieces of work
that not only should pleasing to people, they should open space to reflexion
by human been because they not always act agreeing to the frail ambience
