"Girl with a Pearl Earring, 2025" Painting

In my practice, I explore the mechanisms of adaptation and the construction of life under conditions of unfixed stability. Drawing on a 15-year background in graphic design, I apply its principles to establish the internal framework of my works. I examine memory, identity, and the experience of emigration, manifested through materiality and bodily action. Working at the intersection of abstract painting and spatial forms—ranging from intimate objects to large-scale installations—I focus on the material logic of the process. An essential part of my method is environment photography: I use it as research material to capture fragments of reality that are later transformed into tangible shapes. My artistic practice relies on the interaction of two vectors. The first is driven by the impact of the external environment—sun, precipitation, and time—in my open-air studio in Tel Aviv. The second involves direct physical intervention: pressure, repetition, and the friction of rubbing local soil into the surface. At their intersection, the object is transformed into a document testifying to time, landscape, and human presence.
