With vision, emotion and determination, Miriam Schnyder is rewriting the rules of artistic entrepreneurship. As the CEO of SCHNYDER Group Holding and the pioneering mind behind Art X on Glass, she is redefining how the world perceives art—not just as aesthetic adornment, but as a functional, emotional, and transformative presence in everyday life.
In an era dominated by speed and efficiency, Schnyder’s work is a bold invitation to pause and feel. Her leadership is anything but traditional. Instead of following rigid corporate hierarchies, she cultivates a fluid and inclusive culture—one that merges artistic instinct with business acumen. Her role blurs the line between executive and artist, and her decisions are guided as much by empathy as by strategy.
The origins of Art X on Glass are rooted in a single, daring idea: to turn glass into a canvas of emotion. What began as an experiment has evolved into a global venture, creating bespoke glass artworks that blend storytelling, symbolism, and striking visuals. Each piece isn’t just meant to be seen—it’s meant to be experienced.
Founded in 2024, the company was born from a simple yet powerful belief: that art should not be confined to galleries or frames, but should live in the spaces we occupy every day. Whether in a home, office, or public venue, Schnyder’s vision is to make emotionally resonant art a functional part of the environment.
What makes her medium—glass—so fascinating is also what makes it challenging. Unlike canvas, glass demands that the artist paints in reverse, working from the back to the front. “It’s like seeing life from another perspective,” Schnyder reflects. This inversion requires precision, but it also unlocks new dimensions of creativity. And because glass doesn’t absorb color, every stroke is a calculated risk—a process full of uncertainty, spontaneity, and discovery.
“No one ever knows how the picture will look in the end,” she says. “That’s the beauty—it’s always a surprise, always unique.” This philosophy of embracing the unknown is central to her approach to leadership, art, and innovation.
But Art X on Glass is more than just Miriam’s personal journey—it’s a celebration of global collaboration. She has assembled a team of seven diverse artists whose cultural perspectives enrich every creation. Together, they form a vibrant tapestry of technique, tradition, and emotion.
Eirini Stefanaki from Crete brings the energy of the Mediterranean to her Asian-inspired series, using modern acrylic spray techniques to bridge continents through visual language. Austrian artist Veronika Gisler, known as the “glass expert,” specializes in delicate floral motifs that reflect elegance and subtlety.
From Slovakia—Schnyder’s home country—come Monika Prochazka, her father Miroslav, and brothers Miro and Marian Sidlik, whose works are characterized by bold glitter, vivid colors, and explosive emotion. “They bring a totally different wind,” Schnyder says, describing their raw, expressive approach that contrasts beautifully with the subtler works of their peers.
This intentional diversity isn’t a marketing strategy—it’s a core belief. Schnyder sees art as a universal language, and through her company, she channels the emotional richness of various cultures into every piece. This global perspective shapes everything from client collaborations to the company’s long-term vision.
Under her leadership, Art X on Glass is not a niche novelty or a fleeting passion project—it’s a movement. A movement that challenges traditional definitions of art, that builds emotional bridges across cultures, and that invites us all to see the world—and ourselves—through a more soulful lens.
Miriam Schnyder is more than a CEO. She is a creative visionary, a cultural connector, and a storyteller of the soul. In her hands, glass becomes more than a surface—it becomes a mirror of emotion, a vessel of meaning, and a powerful reminder that beauty still has a place in the modern world.
