I started painting at the age of 12 using watercolor. The first money I ever made was from painting at the age of 16. My mother whom I have great respect for how she raised me was against this because she was afraid a teenage with money can not concentrate on the education which she valued more than the money,

More important than the money was the attention and praise from my peers, cause I used to draw a circle and ask them to measure it and I used to draw an almost perfect circle (It is practice and more practice, not a miracle).

I never failed my mother and earned a Masters degree in Computer Engineering at Mid Sweden University.

I have never stopped painting although I reduced the pace and panted as a hobby. I mainly focused on landscape and portrait paintings. I used to give away most of them to friends and relatives.

Painting is some kind of Therapy and I used to paint more during lives' many crises.

My last project started after I have lost my sister for cancer and to forget that painful loss, I started painting without thinking about money (selling).

I have invested a lot of money and I could paint anything in order to get bored. So, I have accumulated more than 700 paintings. Two rooms are full of paintin...

I am a Computer Engineer

When it comes to art education I attended the school of hard-knock lives, I have painted more than 12k hrs. I paint both in acrylics and oil. I am more into portraits (real people and figurative), landscapes (real and abstract).

My absolute favorite artist is Salvador Dali. The current living artist who are my favorites (where I get inspiration from) without any meaning of the order:
Maurice Sapiro, osnat tzadok, gerhard richter, jeremy mann
