Born in the canton of Friborg, Gilbert Pauli (1944 – 2020) lived in Geneva, where he devoted himself to painting and sculpture, a passion he developed since childhood. His favorite theme was the dialogue between the human being and his creator. Gilbert Pauli’s messages are universal, without any racial, religious or even cultural reference, with the sole purpose of love for man. From 1986, he worked relentlessly and in a self-taught way to discover the different painting and sculpture techniques: first gouache, followed by dry pastel. These lead him to watercolor, and oil, through charcoal and acrylic.
