Engadine paintings by local artist Elena Denoth. Viewing by appointment.

Engadine folklore, landscapes and animals of the local artist.

The one group of paintings and pictures is mainly about the mountain and animal world. Mountain panoramas, the bearded vulture, the roosters, wild roosters, wild flower meadows, etc.. In these paintings, the painter's attachment to living nature but also her deep rootedness in nature is strongly expressed.
The other group of paintings, however, deals with the Engadine village community with its typical ways of life and old traditions. Among these paintings, the Schlittadas, the sleigh ride motifs and the Chalandamarz representations are particularly striking.
The artist also seems to be fascinated by this magic; perhaps behind her depiction of this ancient custom lies man's longing for what is pure and original and, in the end, for what remains forever.
