Carmela Endrizzi, born with a passion for music and art, began piano and vocal lessons at the age of five. Growing up surrounded by pencils and paper, her childhood fascination with horses and sharks became artistic muses. During high school, she transformed her worksheets into sketchbooks, discovering a lasting motif: the human body, particularly the dynamic forms of the female form.
After graduating in 2019, Carmela embarked on transformative travels through France, Germany, and Ukraine. The journey, including hitchhiking adventures, immersed her in diverse experiences, highlighting human generosity and the beauty of life. Returning to Switzerland via Spain, she felt a yearning for independence and settled in a Bern-based communal living arrangement. Becoming an art model allowed her the financial flexibility to pursue personal projects.
Engaging in various artistic endeavors, Carmela contributed to a art magazine, creating comics and a painting accompanied by poetry. One notable comic, "The Adventures of Pussygirl," humorously explores the superpowers of a woman's vulva. While working part-time as a piano teacher, her artistic fervor remained unabated. Eventually, drawn to the mountains, she settled in Interlaken.
Carmela's first exhibition, as part of the Artfestival Interlaken, transformed her room into a walkable womb titled "Enter the Exit." Subsequent exhibitions showcased a cigarette butt sculpture with accompanying poetry, symbolizing rebirth. Embracing her identity as an artist, she overcame internal resistance and delved into new mediums, establishing her own studio.
Her recent discovery of Rick Rubin's book, "kreativ. Die Kunst zu sein," likens the creative process to fishing, where the artist casts the line into the universe, uncertain about what will be caught. This metaphor resonates with Carmela, inspiring her to see familiar objects with fresh eyes and explore diverse creative paths.
In gratitude for the limitless ways inspiration manifests, Carmela eagerly anticipates the artistic journeys ahead, aiming to channel expressions that touch others' inner selves.
