ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Just completed this oil painting yesterday. I have been working on it for a while. For some reason the final product never satisfied me completely but I kept at it for quite some time until I arrived at the "aha moment". I never give up on a painting and can spend months on a canvas until all my senses (and intellect) are satisfied. A while back I was walking my dog and saw a pile of charcoal in the parking lot. Maybe someone had a small bonfire there (?) or those were remnants of a picnic. At any rate, I ran back to the car, brought out a plastic bag and scooped the charcoal up, hoping that it could be put to good use. And, indeed, some of the black lines you see here were made with that charcoal! We, artists, never walk upright anymore and have eyes everywhere in our heads.

I was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil and "was discovered" by Art when living in Israel in the 60's. At that time I was interested in literature and music and majored in English and Spanish at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Ten years later, after studying art and giving it my total devotion, I realized that Art had taken center stage in my life. Despite painting since the late 60's, I am still discovering new territories, exploring new means of expression, finding out aspects of myself as they are reflected in my daily work/search. I paint in oils and Encaustics and teach classes in these two mediums at my studio in North Scottsdale, AZ. I am constantly in search of new means of expression to convey a mood, a feeling or a spiritual positioning in my Art. For the past few years I worked on my "Zen" Series, which aims at conveying a feeling of depth in simplicity. When I felt that the goal had been achieved in the paintings shown here, I moved to my current series, "Transitions", which explores the influences of Abstract Expressionism. I am an avid reader and enjoy reading literature in Portuguese, Spanish, Hebrew, French, Italian, English. Lately my interests veer toward spirituality and self improvement.
