When I saw Brita Seiferts paintings first time my impression was:
The culmination of the beauty and the beauty of culmination - and all that happens at the same time. I was reminded of Marcel Prousts book “In The Shadow of Young Girls in Flower”. Female bodies and flowers appear in several variants and combinations.
Brita Seifert found a very charmful way to transform the eternal mysteries of love, of erotic, but also the questions of the human beeing and internal relationships into eyecatching artworks. Each painting possesses its own magic poetry, which extracts itself from a short and fast interpretation. This “red line” can be found in all of her artworks.
Brita Seifert leads us into a “no man’s land of the senses”, into day and dream, reality and unreality, movement and stop, showing and veiling, beauty and purge and finally between Eros and Thanatos (in the painting “Little stinger”, where the beauty is threatened by a scorpio).
In these intermediate realms the eternal values are reminiscent “conditio humana”, always “in”, always relevant since ancient times.
Brita Seifert told me before, that there´s mostly a private story behind her artworks, and the more private and intimate, the more symbolful is the painting. Representing and hiding are two facets of her art, and it seems, that they fight sometimes against each other.
For the recepient of Brita Seiferts art that means: open your mind, feel the art with your heart and not with your brain, feel the emotions coming up… Each meeting with an artwork of Brita Seifert is a “Triadic Constellation”, and Brita Seifert communicates with you through her work.
