About The Artwork
Les 24 Heures de Spa - Virage de "La Source" Many details are hidden all over the drawing. My artworks are not copies of old photographs. Work on one picture usually takes up to 2 months. Many hours of research and reference material to make sure I rebuild the car and environment exactly the way it was in that race. In addition, all fonts, logos and advertisements were used in those years. The 24 Hours of Spa is an endurance racing event for cars held annually since 1924 at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Stavelot, Belgium. The route was laid on public roads between the cities of Francorchamps, Malmedy and Stavelot. In any configuration of the Spa-Francorchamps track the last turn La Source hairpin remained unchanged, leading to the start-finish straight. Russian Boris Ivanowskiy and Italian Attilio Marinoni on Alfa Romeo 6C 1500 S won the race in 1928. Marinoni later became the first three-time winner of the 24 Hours of Spa race. In those years at Spa-Francorchamps, racing Alfas were almost unbeatable, the first in a string of seven victories from 1928 to 1938, Alfa Romeo remained the most titled brand in Spa for many years. Architecture & Landscape: Inside La Source hairpin were road signs to the cities of Malmedy and Stavelot, as well as advertising posters. In the 1928 race, an advertisement for the liqueur Elixir de Spa was placed there. It is the oldest elixir in Belgium, produced by the Capuchins since the 17th century, and in 1869 the manufacturer was awarded the title of "Supplier of the Court", making it the first recognized royal purveyor in Belgium. Organisation & Advertising: - Advertisement of the 1928 race - the Royal Automobile Club of Belgium logo in 1928

I live and work in Beer Sheva, Israel. I am a self-taught artist, without professional art education. I started drawing cars when I was 2 years old, my mother carefully keeps my childhood drawings. And now, 40 years later, I'm still doing what I love. My graphic artworks are made in the technique of ink graphics with elements of watercolor, in the style of old engravings and old advertising brochures. My style is based on detailed drawing and historical accuracy. The artworks are mainly devoted to the history of world motoring, the first auto-sports competitions (since the 1900s), old architecture and Formula 1 racing. My artworks are not copies of old photographs. The first motor racing events took place over 100 years ago and there is very little information about it. Work on one picture usually takes up to 2 months. Many hours of research and reference material to make sure I rebuild the car and environment exactly the way it was in that race. I always strive to depict historically accurately all the things and details of the event. I research archival documents, old photographs, publications and articles in newspapers of those years, and much more, to be sure that all elements of the picture correspond to the historical period: architecture, landscape, weather, specification and color of cars, clothes of drivers, mechanics and spectators, advertising, and so on. In addition, all fonts, logos and advertisements that were used in those years. Only after careful preparation, I start drawing. It takes a lot of patience, diligence and passion to paint such detailed artwork. Drawing such small details requires high precision and concentration.
