Hello, I'm Alain Bruno Guldimann.
I am born and raised near Bern the capital city of Switzerland in 1979. I had a very rough childhood and i hated school so much that i was always playing the sick guy and stayed at my friends house because my parents where at work. I passed the time from 11 to 16 years old alone with my older skateboarding friends, on the streets of Bern where the alcoholics, the junkies and the prostitutes where as well. I come from a upperclass family but i was a street rat and a young pumk trying to impress his older friends. Then i had to do an apprentice ship as a interior designer or upholstery work better said. I was very good at skateboarding and was semiprofessional Skateboarder for about 12years then i had enough of people telling me what i had to jump down to get pictures in magazines and so on. I did drugs and alcohol the same as i did skateboarding, with full power and engagement. I was at Rock bottom and i tried to kill myself a few times, once i was in coma after loosing half of my blood. Then i did several therapy's for some a few months and once for more than two years. I am clean since about more than one year now. I started drugs and alcohol at the age of 12 till 45 years old. I am a true survivor and an extra strong animal to still be alive . It's a miracle that much is for sure, and i thank God and my guarding angel for waking up every morning. I am doing as well as when i was 18 years old now and i am 46. I have to the invalid social security insurance wich supports my basic life without having to work no more. So i chose to do painting as a living, because i am creative and love to play with colors and materials of all kinds. My theme is authentic disorder and my mission is to talk about drug abuse and alcohol and mental health as much as i can, with everyone who listens. I have this theme as a mission and my vision is to bring calm and and a bit of dark humor to theyr lifes. I wish someone will see the beauty of my works and push me a bit. I am an artist as much as i was a addicted and Skateboarder, fully blown passionated and painting every day, i do it first for my survival and then for the possible crowd. I don't do Art for everyone, it's very special and raw and authentic and it's not for mainstream, that is for sure. I hope you will check out my Instagram account @alainguldimannart Thank you very much for your time and support, i respect you very much for this platform and letting me be who i really am. With all my disorders and mental health issues. Peace and love around the globe 🌍.
