Artur Scheifler – Visual Artist

Artur Scheifler is a distinguished visual artist with German, Russian, and Ukrainian roots, whose work seamlessly blends identity, cultural memory, and spiritual inquiry. Born in the former USSR, his early experiences profoundly shaped a lifelong reflection on existence, transcendence, and the search for higher meaning.

Artur received formal artistic training grounded in Soviet realism and later studied under the German painter Dietrich Grabas, an encounter that left a lasting mark on his creative vision. His transition to Germany following his family’s migration profoundly influenced his artistic development, deepening his exploration of cultural identity and the human condition.

Having lived in Berlin, Paris, and Lyon, Artur developed a deep affinity for French culture, quickly integrating the language and earning a degree in fashion and communication. His practice naturally merges fine art with fashion, most notably in the creation of successful silk scarves printed with his original works—bringing his visual language into the realm of wearable art.

Artur’s artistic practice spans abstract compositions, figurative works, and political symbolism—always grounded in philosophical and spiritual questioning. His early SUN series embraces vibrant color to explore energy, illumination, and human connection. The MOON series, a significant evolution in his work, turns toward black, white, and subtle grey tones, often punctuated with a single color. This series reflects a more introspective dimension, drawing on mysticism, metaphysics, and inner silence.

The POLITIKA series continues these themes through the lens of civic freedom and democratic values, confronting the tension between individual agency and larger political systems. While this series has earned critical recognition, it remains part of a broader body of work driven by Artur’s interest in existential themes and a search for the sacred.

Central to his visual language is a respect for Judeo-Christian influences and religious traditions, expressed through recurring symbols such as the cross. These elements, present in both figurative and abstract works, reflect his deep engagement with the spiritual dimension of life.

Today, Artur lives and works between Berlin and France. His work has been exhibited in Berlin and across several French cities, and continues to draw attention for its unique ability to connect spiritual themes with bold visual expression across multiple media—from painting to wearable art.
