Decades ago I lived in a kibbutz in the Neguev Desert, where I contacted the native neighbors: the Bedouin tribes. They asked every winter to camp in our fields (every year some fields "rest") and taking water from us. It was good also for us, because these good neighbors knew the area and their flocks of goats and sheep fertilized the fields. At the end of the winter they continue to move looking for green herbs. They organized then a big traditional meal for "honorable" members of the kibbutz, for hospitality. Then we asked about next seasons, if the winter will be rainy, etc. and as experts of the land, always will occur what they predicted. I loved their stories and legends around the fire, with fresh coffee, and also their way of life, as at Biblical times. One of their legends about why they remain nomads is that once the Prophet Muhammad threw a golden arrow to the heavens, which circumambulates the earth for remembering the men not to be possessed by material objects, to remain spiritual beings. So they became "the shade of this arrow of gold", always in movement with no land and minimal possessions. They remain always in contact with Nature (for them, with God).

Ricardo Lapin is a plastic artist based in Israel. He was born at Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1961. At age 16 he left to Israel at the times of Military "Junta". He began to study oil painting at age 10, and this discipline become a way of life: with more knowledge & experience, it continues till today. My Artist Statement: Art is a meeting between the individual and the universal, question marks about the human soul. I believe that the artist must reflect the "Zeitgeist" of the period he works. My own struggles and dilemmas, the culture and environment in which I live are present in every piece of work. Painting for me is my inmost protected and stable place, like a priceless shelter. Always present, since my early childhood, despite changing situations and realities. A territory that can be built and changed endlessly, a meeting place for memories, fears, desires. Within the creative process everything has existence, without a name or definition, there is place where everything is possible and can be repaired. My work is born mainly from images, the imagery nurtured by experiences, stemming from memories and dreams, mine and from my family. The artist work examines and describes the existence of man in this world, allows the brave inquiring of actual and local values . Alongside the aesthetic expression, my works seek to examine the limits of justice and freedom, the meaning of life and death in a period of spiritual loss, depression and continuing devaluation of human lives. Images come to me. As waking up from a dream, I catch them by sketching, drawing them before they escape; after that I articulate them and find new related images, in an associative process. I can perceive that many images have an aroma of oral stories, memories, family legends, secret traumas. Sometimes they arrive from mystery and remain there, even when already painted. The final work is sometimes a kind of unfinished sentence, to be filled in by the public, in many surprising ways, sometimes very far from my associations & ideas during the creative process. It's always magic and truthful for me to realize about the multiple ways of reading my work.
