Artist Statement

Menachem Yaffe

I'm an auto-didactic artist who successfully combines religious and philosophical world-views through art. At the age of 14 I was inspired and charmed by the painter Van Gogh from whom I learned the basics of color. My artwork is complex, it combines philosophy and psychology with deeply personal elements that reflect my relationship with G-d and inspiration from the world. My paintings reflect these concepts through the use of intense and powerful color. Over the years I have developed the ability to create abstract art and different formations for expression through radiant hues.

Through my experiences living in the UK and extensive travel I gathered a rich spectrum of tools, ideas and styles that I channel through my work. My art has been exhibited multiple times in both solo and group exhibitions.

At present I live in Bnei Brak, Israel with my wife, Chana, and our baby daughter.

I went to school in Jerusalem, I was good at physics, math and athletics, I play guitar and was the leader in the school band. then I dropped out a bit, and began to work my way through the adventures of life. I found peace in religion which inspired me in my paintings to become who I am today. I then studied psychology and special needs for 13 years after my big Chang in life. I felt a need to help people with disabilities. b"h I study the bible and Jewish morel growth study to make my self a good and a kind man.
