About

Hey there, I’m Nick Redmark.

Welcome to my world!

Nick leaning over a large black-and-white relief of Zürich laid across a living-room table — Me, and one of the bigger ones.

2023 · The beginning

It all started at the beginning of 2023, when my brother gifted me a 3D printer.

The first thing I printed was a relief of Switzerland, where I live. I remember getting up at night, fascinated by the machine at work. A new passion was born.

The first white relief of Switzerland being printed on an Ender 3D printer at night — The very first print, in the middle of the night.

A white printed relief of Switzerland held in the palm of a hand, a Christmas tree behind it — Switzerland, the next morning.

2023 · One experiment called the next

From then on, one experiment called the next. I printed smaller and bigger regions, from the houses in our neighbourhood to the whole globe, started showing them to my kid and painting them together.

A white relief of a neighbourhood with every house printed, still on the print bed — Our neighbourhood, house by house.

A white printed hemisphere of the globe with the continents in relief — Half the globe.

A child's hand fitting white printed pieces of Switzerland together on a red tablecloth — The first player.

Two printed hemispheres painted blue and green on a paint-spattered cardboard sheet — Painted together.

Bigger projects

Some larger projects started emerging, in collaboration with my brother, who painted the pieces.

Three people sitting outdoors beside the finished Ticino relief on its black board — Finished, and shown off.

Painting a large relief of Ticino on a black board outdoors — Painting the Ticino relief outdoors.

Close-up of the hand-painted Ticino relief with its valleys, snow and Lake Maggiore — Hand-painted, valley by valley.

2024 · The first puzzle

In 2024 came the first puzzle of Switzerland — and immediately I thought: wait, what if I took advantage of the relief to make my first multicolour print? When I saw the result, I was hooked. This is something more. This has potential.

The first multicolour Switzerland puzzle, green and white, lying below its red tray with the Swiss cross — The first multicolour Switzerland, and its tray.

A green and white relief piece with a blue lake, held between the fingers — The moment it became something more.

What about…

What about a box? What about other regions? What about turning it into an educational tool? The ideas kept coming, and mostly it was a lot of “manual” work.

I was progressing slowly, on the side, but having a ton of fun (and producing a lot of Christmas gifts as a by-product).

Ten finished green and white Switzerland plates laid out in rows on a table — One Christmas's worth of gifts.

A Ticino relief puzzle in a red tray beside a red frame cut with the outlines of its pieces — What about a box?

Children at a table assembling Switzerland puzzles next to a cantons worksheet — What about an educational tool?

Now

And now… well, now we are in the age of AI, and all the foundational work of the past has become a basis on which I can finally build… a whole world to share with you!

The World relief puzzle map in its red frame — A whole world.

The North America plate and the Mississippi watershed plate side by side, both emptied — Continents, rivers, countries, towns.

Six framed black-and-white city reliefs on a wall: Bern, Zürich, Lausanne, Bellinzona, Locarno, Genève — And the cities, framed, on redmark.art.

And here you are. Welcome.

Have fun exploring.
