The work of Seffa Klein (France / United States, 1996) is both vibrant and multifaceted. Her painting-sculptures draw on many traditions of wisdom and spirituality, such as Sufism and meditation, as well as on science, cosmology, and nature.
At the heart of Seffa Klein’s work is the timeless question of human experience in relation to the universe and beyond. In many of her recent works, she uses bismuth, a non-radioactive metal formed during the most energetic events in the universe, whose resulting shimmering colors and shapes echo the encounters between inner experience and scientific phenomena that are very present in her work.
