Harvest with cacti Collage

My name its Meital Katz Minerbo, I am an Israeli born artist who grew up in Venezuela, and for the past 21 years has being living and creating art in Tel Aviv. My art engages with the representation of what it is to be an outsider, who has lost her sense of belonging – geographically and spiritually. Being and growing up as a woman and an immigrant evoked a deep need to invent a visual narrative that can represent my experience in a critical and creative way simultaneously. I am interested in dealing mainly with the idea of "differance" in an endless search for a territory that would hold my creation. It can be described as obscure and gloomy, borrowing characteristics from the gothic subculture. I am composing a visual language that combines elements from pop culture with scientific and Pseudo-scientific occupations like: Parapsychology, Spiritism, Botany, Geology and Horticulture. Through practices that include: painting, drawing, printing, collage, sculpture and fashion design, I create paradigmatic and encoded artistic events, installations, filled with a very rich and recognizable imagery.
