Education: Shenkar College of Engineering, Design, Art

Two things that I associate with my work are narrative and color, which came from childhood, from comics and cartoons. Over time, they found a new expression in my painting, undergoing a transformation and decomposing into its component parts.
In my paintings, one way or another, I always works with narrative, even when it change into an abstract form.
An equally significant part of my commitment to narrative is the love of cinematography, which I consider to be a kind of modern form of legends and new a part of new mythology.
