Anna Lemke, a mother of two children from Lucerne, has been involved with spiritual teachings from various traditions, philosophy, nutrition, naturopathy and art since her youth.

In addition to yoga, she has devoted herself to nature and its treasures. Thus, she draws inspiration from her love of nature. She often works with the linoleum printing process, which is also how the design “Bird” for ZRCL came into being. She likes the simple, minimalist, so that she can depict the essence of beauty.

2020 was the start of her own online shop of self-made products. Her self-illustrated and written Oracle Deck is the centrepiece.

After years of frustrating work in his job, Carsten Daub’s artistic career began as a self-taught artist. For him, art means rediscovering what is special in things.

Art enables Carsten to depict feelings and observations of reality better than he could express with words. Above all, nature inspires him again and again with its forms, colours and structures. For him, mountains radiate peace, strength and security, and fascinate him just as much as the infinite expanses and possibilities of the universe. His pictorial worlds combine realistic with abstract and geometric elements, such as the design “Universe” which he drew for ZRCL.
