ARTIST STATEMENT

If I need to summarize my art in a few words I will call it:

contemporary art inspired by ancient Jewish wisdom.

I choose issues from Jewish wisdom literature that specially impact me and I want to connect to them, I feel painting them will help me understand them better .

I paint mainly with oil paintings on canvas but not only,

I creates in a different style

it has sometimes a geometric aspect a little of the classic, modern, a lot of abstract, and some times all together at the same canvas.

I do that because I don't intent to stick to a certain style or technique my focus is the message of the art.
