Motiva, is a patented concept blending technology and design to present quotes in the most inspiring way. This new high-tech way to display fine art and philosophy has managed to capture the attention of Warren Buffett. Buffett signed a Motiva featuring a photograph of himself and displaying several of his most famous quotes.

While appearing as a traditional piece of art - Motiva comes to life, slowly illuminating quotes that are hidden within its unique letter grid, complemented by striking artwork. The result is a new type of art that hangs on your wall.

"We've essentially invented a new form of expression for artists and thought leaders," says Ronen Shilo, the founder of Motiva. "Each Motiva is unique as it captures the essence of the artist or thought leader through keywords hidden within its distinctive letter grid"

Warren Buffett is the first to headline a 'Motiva for a Cause' fundraiser event, while many more are in the works.
