Meuffy
"My goal is to come to terms with death."
An odd statement coming from a young artist who is clearly filled with life. Everything she creates seems to invoke movement, perhaps due to her love of dance. There is a sense of unbridled passion, grabbing ahold of every moment with movement. She dances in the physicality of life through her art.
“I delve into spiritual, physics-driven, and magical-feeling ideas involving life and death. So much of the western culture experience focuses on individualism, and I think this is largely what has caused my fear of death. I fear losing my individuality, but I am finding comfort in the idea of being part of the ultimate One-the Universe.”
Meuffy (“MUFF-ee”) is a self-taught emerging artist working primarily in oil paint. Her body of work predominantly uses expressive, dancing figures in abstract color palettes to explore themes of mysticism and quantum physics. She began painting to process her questions and fears surrounding consciousness and mortality.
“I am fascinated by humanity’s fundamental oneness with the elements and the world around us. There is an inherent spiritual and scientific connection between everyone and everything in this Universe. Art is a vessel through which I meditate on and surrender to the nature of my own existence. “
You can't connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backwards...You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever - because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path.” ― Steve Jobs
Through her art, Meuffy has been practicing being more mindfully aware of connecting the dots of her past experiences as she moves forward into her future. Her work evokes a keen awareness of the joy of connection—connection with deeply personal
emotions, connection with others. As she puts it, “I’ve already felt the joy and fulfillment of many dots connecting, and as I continue learning about myself through my art, I trust that every minutia of this life is in some way connected.”
One can’t help being drawn into Meuffy’s art. Each of her works seems to evoke a moment of connection that calls to us in a primal way to set something of ourselves in motion. We’re inclined to want to dance alongside her images and experience a moment of joy and peace with her. Whether in this life or the next.
