BIOGRAPHY
The artwork of Morena Bamberger is a visual and accessible expression of a deep emotional connection between herself, others and planet earth with all her powers and mysteries of the universe.
Nature, spirituality, sincere connections and astral traveling between different dimensions form a central theme.
She creates artworks by working from a mediative state.
The borders between her art and her work as healer and coach seams diffuse. She perceives her work as a portal between our daily reality and a more hidden but equal reality where mysticism, energieflow, ancient powers, archetypes and soul-connections play an important role.
Her wish to make deep harmonious connections emerges from her Sinti-Background: ‘’ In the Sinti Culture nature, traveling, music, sound, fire and connecting people forms an important aspect. These values are always present in my artwork at a subconscious level’’
Her colorful installations paintings, video’s and sculptures are made of simple materials like paper, fabric, plastic, tinfoil, light, air and bubbles.
Her work is mostly cloaked in pink, turquoise and purple, which creates a certain warmth, attraction and wellbeing.
The used symbols and shapes refer to cosmic connections, shamanism and magic.
The visitors can experience her artwork with all their senses, but for Morena is it also important to touch their inner worlds and energy.
She creates surrealistic worlds between dream and reality, where people can call on their imagination and make deep connections with each-other and with an inner spiritual self.
Morena Bamberger graduated with honors in 2018 at the Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts and Design for her Bachelor Fine Art. In 2019 she was an artist in residence at the Jan van Eyck Academie Maastricht. She won the Gilbert de Bontridderaward and the Henriëtte Hustinxaward (both in 2018) and in 2019 the Limburgs Beeldende Kunst Stipendium.
