“The essence of writing shall
echo the breath of infinity.”

Samantha Grob works as an art historian & writer in Switzerland. She toils as a professional wordswoman, fencing with syllable ravels, ideally weaving them into meaningful texts with bits of logic. She writes coherently in German and English and does translations. Her intercultural upbringing inspires her writing. She had a pet camel and grew up as an adventurer between East and West, traveling the globe as much as grazing through books. Samantha firmly believes that the superpower of imagination is the only valid currency in life and that art can tell stories that one cannot say aloud.


P.S. Once upon a time, Samantha studied European and Persian art history and philosophy in Belgium and Germany. She gathered professional experience in international art galleries and at art fairs.
Plus, the Goethe Institut trained her to become a German language teacher to support her writing endeavours.
