Carina A. Stiefel / C, (she / they), born in Zürich, 26.07.1988, BR/CH.
I work as a transdisciplinary artist and bodyworker, with a background spanning performance, sound, movement, voice, and somatic practices. My path has not been linear; like the human being itself, it has unfolded in layers — through phases of discovery, shedding, and deepening. Over time, my focus shifted from material and product-based forms toward subtler practices, working with what is always present: the body, the voice, the human being as an instrument.
I am interested in how we move through and transcend limitations, how we adapt, and how balance can emerge when all parts are allowed to coexist.
For me, art and healing are not separate fields — they are different expressions of the same practice.
Spirituality connects all my work. Art has always been more than entertainment or beauty to consume. For me, creating is a mystical language — a way of communicating with the unknown, with something larger than myself. It is a form of dialogue: listening, responding, and participating. From inner experience to expression, from the individual body into shared space, and further into the collective.
I believe art holds the potential to heal and transform not only the artist, but everyone who is touched by it.
