"Body Landscapes and Human Images"

Born in 1953 in Wörgl, Tyrol, Austria. Margit Piffer is a drawer who also paints. Human beings play a predominant role in Piffer's paintings. She is an observer, takes a closer look at the body from all sides, deconstructs it in her mind and then reassembles it again. She uses a forceful brushstroke and paints with impressive confidence. Female as well as male bodies turn out to be complex body landscapes whose mountains and valleys symbolise the different facets of their souls.
