When he suddenly passed away on May 5th, 2013, Michael Biberstein had been working on a project for several years for the creation of a ceiling or ‘Sky’ for the Santa Isabel Church in the Campo de Ourique district of Lisbon, a project which is currently being realized for the artist. In order to replace the dark, cold and suffocating roof with a warm and vibrant sky, opening onto the cosmos, Michael Biberstein created a ceiling whose vibrating colours extend those of the church’s marble walls, in a progression from cold to warm tones. This opening of indigo sky is intended as a dive into deep space, much like his paintings that turn towards the sublime, dedicated to introspection as much as contemplation. Every Michael Biberstein painting has a very strong spiritual dimension. His paintings describe neither a precise place nor a precise landscape. They are, rather, the reflection on inner landscapes. The exhibition presents a selection of seminal paintings by the artist as well as the model of the Santa Isabel Church in Lisbon, with the ceiling painted by Michael Biberstein.
