The details
Biography
The Paxmal is a peace monument built by Karl Bickel between 1924 and 1949, in Walenstadtberg above Walenstadt, in Switzerland.
The left wall is the earthly life: a couple of people in its existence and development, love and procreation. The right wall is devoted to the spiritual life: the beings who are awakened, struggling, and which keep growing.
Karl Bickel was a Swiss artist who worked for the Swiss Post as a stamps graphic designer.
