The spirit moves like the wind

We live in an ever changing universe. In quantum physics, but also in the old eastern wisdom of the psychological Taoism they are talking about these connections between micro end macho worlds. Everything creates itself and is always moving like the comprehensive energy (Panta Rei). This mystery that’s what inspires the painter Moira Schiffer.

In all her paintings you will find these flows, reproduced in color dots and transitions. All her work comes from the same source even when it looks really diverse. To describe the color resonances (vibrations in the universe on to the canvas, where it’s starts one form and ends another. Inside en outside become one, boundaries blur. To just look is not enough, you need to see. Moira tries to discover deeper layers and new points of view. Resonance, form, color vibrations, scattering light everything that inspires an artist. The rhythm of live itself shows in her work, it moves like the wind.
