Chakras The use of bright and mono color is a result of a deep learning and understanding the power of the colors as it's affect people. The color can change the atmosphere of the environment, can heal our soul. The use of the right color in the right place can bring new and pure energy in spaces ..."I use the theories of color therapy, Feng Shui and Chakra energy in my painting.The idea of making those painting is a result of long period of meditation and listening to music. Then I decided to paint with just one color according to state of mood I am, after I meditate"... The aluminum is folded before I put the color on. When the painting is hanging on the wall, the color change as the light is changing during the day, the shade accentuate the color and change them to deep, darker or lighter. It's fill the room with bright and clear energy.The colors I choose are from the Chakras colors, so every one who choose a painting can take the color he likes most". Aquarelles Lines have an important role in Serfaty's aquarelles. They regulate the space, define its components, and at the same time differentiate among them. The lines also accumulate into topographical textures that vary in their density and direction according to the depicted area. Thus earth is usually characterized by a highly dense rhythm, while the sky, comprising spaced lines, is perceived as a fresh, spiritual environment. In addition, the morphological rhythm of the lines conveys a feeling of movement that seems to be inherent to Nature itself. The rocks, dunes, sky, and earth are not static, displaying a constant process of formation and development. Therefore, even in the absence of a stated narrative, the aquarelles present a dramatic occurrence anchored in the realm of Nature. Soil, Land, Territory. In a country where these words are a source of recurring conflicts, landscapes usually become dreamed places, sanctuaries actually. Painted on the borders of Israel, Serfaty's aquarelles depict the richness of colors under a Mediterranean sun. Indeed, a painful, silent testimony echoes in the red, blazing rocks of Edom Mountains or in the scattered houses in Village on the rocks. "...
