THE MOIRAI'S LOOM
The Moirai’s Loom: Patterns of Fate and Belonging gathers artists whose practices are shaped by journeys across borders, the fluidity of identity, and the interplay between personal and collective memory. Drawing on the myth of the Moirai, the ancient Greek personifications and weavers of destiny, the exhibition situates the loom as a conceptual and material site where tradition meets transformation, and where the threads of migration, longing, and belonging are continuously spun and rewoven, that ultimately shaping the course of ones life.
Here, creation is an ongoing weaving: each brushstroke, gesture, and mark becomes a strand binding past to present, self to place, and experience to narrative. The featured artists, whose backgrounds span landscapes, cultures, and disciplines, bring together vivid color, performative movement, and layered symbolism, echoing the ceaseless motion of bodies and stories across borders. Their works invite viewers to witness the universal yet uniquely personal weaving of the self as a process in flux, shaped by inherited patterns, yet always open to reinvention.
FEATURED ARTISTS
Martin Dreves Castillo (1998, Germany)
Castillo’s practice is anchored in themes surrounding migration and cultural hybridity. His works arise from the interlacing of places and histories, each mark a thread negotiating the complexities of belonging. Color and texture serve as fibers of memory, binding together the experiences of displacement and adaptation. In Castillo’s hands, painting becomes a loom, a space where the search for home is woven from fragments, crossings, and the continual act of making and remaking identity.
Olga Moș (1986, Romania)
Moș’s paintings unfold as woven landscapes of transformation and origin. Growing up between distant forests, her sense of self is vast and fluid, shaped by shifting horizons. For Moș, painting is an act of softening boundaries, a weaving that blurs the distinction between concrete and abstract, the inside and outside. Through performative gestures and vibrant color, she entangles memory and sensation, allowing each composition to develop its own internal rhythm. Her work becomes symbolic of presence, where every line and hue is a thread in the ongoing story of landscape and self.
SERHII HREKH
Serhii Hrekh (b. 1992, Ukraine)
Hrekh's journey began with graffiti in Drohobych and evolved through abstraction and figurative surrealism, bringing the energy of the street into the gallery. His works explore the interplay of inner states and external realities, with each piece acting as a thread in the evolving tapestry of self and place. Feros’s art pulses with the tension between the patterns laid down by fate and those rewoven through acts of will and imagination, mirroring the Moirai’s ceaseless labor of shaping destinies.
