German-born artist Yvonne Robert lives and works in Zurich, creating bright, gestural paintings shaped by colour, rhythm and intuition. Her practice is informed by synaesthesia, a sensory condition through which names, numbers and impressions are experienced with distinct chromatic associations. This heightened relationship to colour has become central to her work, guiding a painterly language that feels instinctive, energetic and deeply perceptual.

Robert’s paintings emerge through an uninhibited engagement with colour, form, proportion and movement. Rather than beginning with fixed meaning or external narrative, she allows composition and gesture to unfold through sensation. Her canvases act as visual mappings of internal colour perception, translating atmosphere, light and emotional response into works that feel immediate, dynamic and alive.
