Otto Meyer-Amden (1885–1933) was a Swiss painter and graphic artist renowned for his devotional works that explore themes of human affection, meditation, and spiritual inner movement through a blend of figuration and geometric abstraction.

In 1912, after studies Zurich, Munich and Stuttgart, he relocated to the village of Amden in eastern Switzerland—later incorporating it into his surname—and spent much of his career there until 1928, producing drawings and paintings in media such as pencil, chalk, Indian ink, watercolour, and oil that emphasise connective density, simplicity, and truth derived from spiritual necessity.
