is an artist of Latvian origin, he was born in Arosa-Switzerland, in 1941. Live and work in Lausanne Switzerland Youris sculptures are enriched by the movement, placed in the environment (the movement of space), supplemented by sounds of concrete music (the movement then starts with the sounds). His first research with the sounds dates from the end of the Sixties. The sculptures are enriched by the movement, placed in the environment (the movement of space), and completed by music sounds concrete (movement starts the sounds). The first researches with sound and movement combined together dates from the end of the 60s. Already in the 70s, Youri integrates the neon into his optical art, which he continues even to use today in his sculptures, his installations, and also in his oil paintings.He often uses the technique of combining oils and gouaches. His favourite colors are: strong reds, yellows, greens, and nuances of blue, luminous colors. His method, empirical, creates new perceptions of the colors and visual effects particularly striking. The geometrical forms such as the square, the triangle or the circle develop gradually without losing their original identity. What makes Youri Messen-Jaschin part of this movement is how he uses the color as meaning of communication which puts the artist among the kinetic architects of space.
