the rider 1 Artwork

Dalit Shahar Born in Israel Lives and works in Karkur, Israel Member of ‘IMPACT’ – ‘The Professional Visual Artists Association’, Israel My art is an exploration of texture, form, and emotion, blending traditional techniques with contemporary expressions. Through mixed media, textiles, and intricate compositions, I strive to capture the essence of human connections and the silent conversations between figures. My work often reflects deep introspection into themes of identity, relationships, and the delicate balance between strength and vulnerability. I focus on the complex dynamics of couplehood, the profound journey of motherhood, and the evolving tapestry of family life. My inspirations stem from primitive and childlike worlds, adding an extra layer of authenticity and simplicity to my creations. I work in series, each characterized by unique attributes. I use various techniques, including painting, drawing, collage, embroidery, and printmaking, with materials such as acrylics, charcoal, ink, oil pastels, and soft pastels. Additionally, I incorporate techniques like origami folds, thread embroidery, knots, and buttons, adding depth and interest to my pieces. Each work is a narrative, inviting the viewer to pause, reflect, and connect with the quiet complexities of the human experience.
