Stefan Inauen (b. 1976) is a Swiss contemporary artist working across painting, drawing, sculpture, and installation. Trained at the Universität der Künste Berlin (1999–2005), his practice explores memory, transience, and everyday life through intuitive, process-driven approaches. He works with everyday materials and symbolic systems, often at the scale of the body and architecture, extending from painting into spatial compositions.
