Based between Lausanne and Geneva, Gaël Corboz is a graduate of the prestigious ECAL, the École Cantonale d'Art de Lausanne, following an initial training in photography. His work draws from a wide range of sources: painting, with his practice heavily inspired by Caspar David Friedrich and Albert Bierstadt, fantasy literature and heroic fantasy, art history, and nature, which he blends to create a visual and aesthetic identity all his own. After completing his studies, he quickly felt constrained by traditional practices and turned to 3D animation and motion design to explore an infinite realm of possibilities. There, he creates surreal scenes bathed in vibrant colors and bloom effects, often drawn from his own dreams: heavy objects become ethereal, and flora and fauna take on unreal forms and hues. For the artist, these works depict a world where anything is possible, an approach that harmoniously blends nature and technology and, more broadly, aims to challenge conventional standards of beauty.
His collaboration with the Swiss watchmaker Zenith remains one of the most notable highlights of his career: his 3D creations have adorned the brand’s store windows in cities such as Dubai, London, New York, Milan, Hong Kong, Geneva, and Paris. He has also worked for brands such as Gucci and Sephora, and his clients include Oribe, MTV, and Warner Music. His work has been exhibited at prestigious venues around the world, from Beeple’s studio in Charleston to The NFT Factory in Paris, including the Château de l’Aile in Vevey and the Alt+1000 festival curated by Nathalie Herschdorfer, and has been featured in publications such as Forbes, Novembre Magazine, and Dazed Beauty.

About the series
“Four digital artworks make up the series Hyper Worlds. These pieces are immersive video experiences taking place in distinctive virtual environments.
The magical and mysterious landscapes are characterised by unusual, brightly coloured plants, huge tree-like mushrooms and levitating rocks. I wanted to offer a distinctive perspective on the enigmatic and sometimes disturbing beauty of the world by creating these liberating dream environments, where the definitions of vegetation and minerals are subtly altered. Each of the enchanting and surreal environments in these artworks offer a dreamlike experience, intended to add to one’s experience of reality.
In so doing, these imaginary ecosystems encourage us to reflect on our personal definition of the beauty of nature, which is closely related to its physical and biological principles.
The soundtrack of the works are composed by Canadian producer La+ch, aka 2manyhits. His collaborations are well known in the art world and have fetched several million dollars at prestigious auction houses such as Christie's, Sotheby's and Phillips.
My works are the result of my imagination and question the ideal landscape in a sometimes magical universe. Each creation offers a different vision of an ideal place.”
