untitled Drawing

I live in a rural area in northern Israel, a region known as the upper Galilee.. I grew up on a kibbutz, served in the army and studied art at the AvniI Institute – A College for Art and Design Tel Aviv. I have worked in Scenery Design and as a Film and Art teacher at Tel-Hai Academic College. Human figures, animals, landscapes and abstract shapes – all of these are present in my paintings as my inner eye experiences them. I am not committed to a realistic style, nor do I paint out of any political conviction or agenda. My painting expresses an inner feeling, often not really conscious. Usually my inspiration for a new work comes from my close surroundings, but the painting always develops into something that expresses a kind of feeling that is difficult (for me) to express in words. At the same time, I simply like the tension created in the painting between color and line. I work with soft colors, usually not demarcated, that blend into each other. My works are digital. I create my "paintings" from the outset in a computerized environment. This enables me to build the work layer by layer, and in the course of creating different layers for the same painting, to choose from every layer that which best suits the final outcome that is taking form.
