Yael Hoenig

Born in 1975
Currently lives and works in Shoham, Israel.

My paintings express my innermost emotional world, my feelings, my interpretation of the world and my immediate surroundings at the moment of creation.
On the surface my paintings may appear optimistic, full of life, and somewhat naïve or childish. Perhaps this is the way I want others to see them. But a deeper underlying level will reveal conflicts, difficulties, struggles and tensions between the different layers of lines and shapes as they integrate into the picture and begin to merge.
My paintings are wounded, scratched, engraved with lines and covered with layers of paint and other materials. Similarly our life experiences and memories are engraved in our bodies and souls. Even if we try to cover them up, they will always prevail.
My work is mainly abstract, implementing bold colors, lines and graphic shapes that merge with each other. I use various forms of techniques and mixed media in my work such as acrylics, charcoal, pencils, chalk and panda as well as newspaper cuttings.

Currently some of my paintings are being exhibited at different galleries in Tel Aviv, such as: the Stern Gallery, the Urban Gallery and the Dan Gallery and also at the Talking Walls Ga...
