URBEIL, the Tyrolean sculptress, is a modern nomad. Ever and anon when her studio in Silz turns out too narrow for her, she travels and exposes herself to the different landscapes of this planet. She uses nature as her outdoor studio. Her mighty sculptures, installations and fading interventions fit into the very diverse natural environments in Europe. Just as her creations surprise in Korea, Japan and Australia. Besides her land-art objects, the performance artist started to work ever more with fire installations. From these Ursula Beiler developed her genuine fire paintings and land brandings which after the performances outlast on the canvas; or as land art in the grass or on the tarmac.
