ART-17 Mural Camp with Teens by Stillo Noir in Geneva
ART-17 Mural Camp with Teens
In summer 2021 I lead a one-week mural camp for Association ART-17 in Sion, Switzerland, where the teens got to ideate, prep and paint their very own mural!
We started off by looking for inspiration around town, where they collected as many ideas in their sketchbooks as possible. They then developed their sketches into unique patterns, practiced presenting their work, and learned to offer constructive feedback in group critiques.
Together, we prepped the wall and painted the white base layer, before they got their hands dirty learning how to use paint markers and making their patterns extra big. Finally, they got to painting the mural, where every teen contributed their own unique patterns!
The end result is a fun, collaborative mural full of their good spirit, aptly named “Imagine-à-Sion” based on all the imagination and inspiration they extracted around the town of Sion.

Geneva, SwitzerlandI’m Tanya and I'm an artist, designer and muralist known for creating infinite varieties of black and white patterns.
Observing the world through lines, contrast and texture, I find no greater joy than to translate what I see into fun, unique designs that can be shared with others. As a multidisciplinary creative, I work across a variety of mediums, blending the boundaries of pattern design, illustration, mural painting and fine art to bring vibrance and personality to spaces. I’ve had the pleasure of creating unique artworks for individuals, brands and communities across the world, working on projects the likes of murals for a city, paintings for private collectors, and illustrations for an international publisher.
Based out Valencia, Spain, and Geneva, Switzerland, I’m constantly creating new patterns and dreaming up surfaces to paint them on!
