Rotem Ritov

The act of creating art is my way of living; for me it is an existence necessity. I am an independent artist an active member of the "˜Alfred Gallery' co-operative art group in Tel-Aviv(both as artist and curator).

I graduated the department of Architecture at WIZO Haifa Art Academy (2006), contemporary dancer in my past. My multi-disciplinary approach toward the field of art includes, among other things, the establishment of a unique gallery format within my living space, combining my knowledge and love for architecture and curating, as was manifested in the "Apart.Art" gallery (2009-2011).

I find it important for an artist to understand the source of his art. The connection between ideas and matter builds the artistic language. In my work I play with the obvious image and its dissolved expression to create a new and sometimes unrecognized visual language. I play with and combine both familiar techniques with methods I invent.
