Potow Potow

POTOW is a father-son artist duo whose creative journey began early, with the son painting alongside his dad as a toddler, often sitting on top of their canvases. This early bond turned into a lifelong partnership where the father’s seasoned experience meets the son’s modern vision.

Their work merges classical techniques with bold, experimental styles, exploring themes like faith, heritage, and human connection. Each piece is a vibrant dialogue between traditional and modern elements, reflecting their unique relationship. The result is art that’s not just visually striking but also rich in narrative and innovation, offering a fresh perspective in the contemporary art scene.

Eliyahu, the father and one half of the artist duo POTOW, is a self-taught, autodidact artist. His artistic journey began through personal exploration and experimentation, developing his own unique approach without formal training. Eliyahu's deep connection to art and creativity comes from years of honing his craft, driven by passion and a desire to express profound themes of faith and life.

Ruben, the son, learned the basics of painting from Eliyahu, absorbing the foundational skills and techniques passed down to him. However, as he grew as an artist, Ruben began to develop his own distinct style and methods. While Eliyahu’s influence is a core part of his development, Ruben has carved out his own path, incorporating more modern into his work. Together, their unique approaches merge seamlessly, creating a dynamic fusion of styles that defines the essence of POTOW’s artwork.
