Night Swimming Painting

My name is Omri Mizrahi, born in 1985 Carmiel today I live in Kfar Saba, Israel. When I paint I try to point the moments that have lost human attention. I choose figurative images in photographs, screen shots and daily life that have a sense of human loneliness. Prolonged staying in front of those images, allows me to study and understand them better. Other moments can appear more abstract, like a tree that shed its bark, a warm which dug her way through an old wrench, a heavy textured stone… These moments figurative and abstract, have become my source for inspiration. I take "frozen" images, translate theirs appearance of loneliness and "melting" it into layers of pastel pencils, charcoal, pigments and oil colors.
