Artist Spotlight on Elvira Amrhein
Breath of Divine
Daughter and granddaughter of artists, Elvira Amrhein’s work is deeply spiritual, intriguing and overwhelming.
For a moment the divine becomes alive, imbuing the artist’s creations with the power to transform viewers into initiates. With a fluttering of wings, faces and bodies – like gold and marble spectres – take shape: melancholic and sensual, indeed, troubling. Like apparitions, they flood the canvas with mysticism, reflecting back towards the soul of the observer. Ageless legendary characters bring a breath of the divine with them.
born in 1957 in Germany, she lives and works in
