Marina Kaftal

My story begins in Kazakhstan. After leaving the Soviet Union, I made my way to Jerusalem, Israel, where I lived for 30 years and raised my family. It was there that I worked as an illustrator for biblical archaeologists, translating ancient discoveries into images and learning to see the past as vividly as the present. Today every piece I create carries traces of history, memory, and place.

From my studio in Palm Beach, Florida, I continue that journey, creating art rooted in a lifetime spent between cultures, continents, and ancient stories.
