Yehudit Fauziya Englard

Yehudit Englard was born in Iraq, came to Israel at the age of 4 ,and has been painting for the past 16 years. She is always intensely active, ceaselessly creative.

Both artists present a personal vision, a private dream composed of a series of abstract messages and creating a new, fantastical framework that communicates their emotional and theoretical ideas."Doron Polack/ curator

I see the changes in our world in recent years: Tunisia, the fall of Gaddafi, the mass awakening in Egypt and civil war in Syria, years after the change of regime in South Africa. I'd like to refer to these phenomena as an outcome of balance/imbalance in human life.
