Artist’s Statement

My art can be defined as Contemporary Visionary, Spiritual.

At the beginning of 2000, after fourteen years of working with kites, aerial designs and sculptures, I left those markets and expanded into canvas, which was receptive enough to capture my heart.
I had no tools, only a passion for integrity, self-expression, depth and unity. Since the only art form that I had formally studied was music, I was a witness to a development of a unique painting style, one that unfolded itself to me step by step.

Many of my paintings are painted on very thin canvas, which I pin to a frame, using the stretching technique for silk. By applying a white medium on the breathing canvas, I can then create a variety of textures that later receive the colors in different, unexpected ways.

I paint on the floor using motion and gravity to achieve the effects that I want in that moment. I use acrylic, glass, oil and sparkling paints, adding 23-karat gold leaf and Swarovski crystals to most of my paintings.

My 3-D paintings depict scenes from an inner journey over the past twelve years. They reflect my deep interest in consciousness and with very simple lines and symbols represent a principle that I see as playing a critical role in contemporary life: the polar opposites [intensities] that constitute our human condition- good/bad [less good], light /dark [less light], conscious/asleep [less conscious] - and the divine source of them all.

I have a growing collection of paintings focused on Biblical stories, which are basically emotional, practical tools for inner growth. The paintings are all different expressions of higher insights I attempt to convey through my art.

My love for the esoteric message has always been more important than my love to art and I paint not for art’s sake but for the sake of the message.
My identity is not in what I do but in what I am.

I'm happy to be an artist - the spirit of his generation - in the midst of a global change, when there is so much confusion and search for a higher fulfilling reality.

A mixture of seemingly contradictory traits—as a mother, an Israeli, a Kabbalist, a Sufi, a Buddhist and an eager spiritual seeker—are only a veil to what I really AM.

These days I paint with colors and flute with sounds, and this enables me to be where I AM and who I AM.

My paintings are simply mirrors of a growing spirit.
