​
Michel Jegerlehner draws inspiration from a vast array of observations—the shapes and structures of buildings, the interplay of light and shadow on objects, the vivid colors of stained glass, the delicate beauty of a flower, the vibrancy of a street, or the reflections and contrasts on glass surfaces.​
He incorporates these elements into his paintings, working primarily with acrylic paints and markers to emphasize sharpness and define the contours of his subjects. Constantly exploring new styles and techniques, Michel finds it fascinating to evoke emotion through simplified yet precise forms.​
His works are characterized by bright colors, bold contrasts, and a modern, graphic style. Light and shadow play an essential role in his creations, adding depth and dynamism to his compositions.
For Michel, painting is a timeless process—a moment where creativity flows and time feels suspended.
