Shifra is a fine artist concerned with the spontaneous world of urban existence. Available in limited edition prints of five, her high-velocity photographic prints feature cityscapes enrobed in a wide array of atmospheric digital after-effects. She has perfected this technique, creating an unfurling retinal sensation in the viewer. Light refracting light as harmony and transition in the midst of a city landscape reduced to glittering abstraction. Serving as a type of virtual anamnesis, each photo creates a snapshot of culture that evokes a recollection at once highly specific and general. A roving artist whose work features a deceptively homogenous albeit geographically diverse terrain, Shifra captures the fast-paced play of light and shadow betwixt a rotating cast of colossal structures in the international urban contemporary milieu.
Born in Israel, Shifra first exhibited her work, then intimate drawings in ink, in 1977. She has a Masters in Art History and recently published a book of her photography entitled "The Third Eye is My Inner Eye."
