Spring Awakening Steps #7 - Limited Edition Painting

A collage, mixed media and digital artist. Visual communication arts and design graduated. Had spent many years under the graphic designer hat and as such I'm influenced and responsive in my art to this plastic image world from which I come. Born and raised in Israel Had been an independent collage illustrator artist for a leading Israeli newspaper in early years and had spent a major time world toddling, mainly throughout Europe and south-east Asia, then was finally able to lay my backpack and call Japan home, for awhile. I go out to my artistic journey from 2 points of view: one that is asking to enhance the sensual experience and another that is asking to research a deeper and a more hidden layer. I'm fascinated by the encounter between foreignness in life as in art. Trying to constantly combine the opposites, deconstruct and harmonize ready-made which create a free associations riddle flow that I call "My Delightful Chaos" glued together with a rich expressionistic color palette, in order to transcend the everyday regularity to a fantasy and a surreal level. By building those new bridges for my emotional immigration acts, I feel as if I'm performing a shamanistic ritual, determined to reach a subconscious level, in which I'm allowing myself to wear different identities and masks in order to mend the broken pieces that I coveted from the different worlds. By that, I invent myself new and alternative magic worlds. I'm influenced by Expressionism, Dada and Japanese pop aesthetics as my main dish. Currently living and working back in Israel.
