Artist Statement:
Painting to me is about the
experience of transformation.
The spirit of creating art is
always a manifestation of
being and becoming one with
the true life force/ Tao/ God/
nature or however you would
like to call the source of
creation that is within us
all.
I'm a former musician, and a
lot of music is involved in my
painting, revealed in some
musician's images and
portraits, but mainly through
the sense and awareness of
flow, rhythm, harmony and line
that I experience in my work.
I find the two art forms very
similar, although existing in
completely different
dimensions, using different
mediums and materials,
applying to different senses.
Painting and music, as well as
any form of art, are very
similar in essence, the
differences are only in the
manifestation of that essence.
I believe a lot of the music
discipline is still at the
roots of my painting practice.
As an artist, just like when I
was a musician and played
classical compositions as well
as jazz improvisation, etudes
and scales, I feel the
different kinds of paintings I
make nourish the development

| Your Personal Biography |
I arrived in New York City in 1993, where I live (in Brooklyn) to this day, studied drawing and painting at the Art Student's League during 1994-5. Before coming to the Big Apple I studied music, piano, Jazz composition and arrangement and graduated from the Rimon School of Jazz and Contemporary Music in Israel (affiliated with the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA).
I believe a lot of the music discipline is still at the roots of my painting practice. As an artist, just like when I was a musician and played classical compositions as well as jazz improvisation, etudes and scales, I feel the different kinds of paintings I make nourish the development of my other paintings on all levels. I paint abstracts, but my figurative work helps me sharpen the eye-to-brain-to-hand connection. I love running free in the fields of abstract painting, but also feel the need to sit quietly by the pond and focus on painting exactly what I see in front of me. Art is my passion and my love, and as long as I am able to practice it, I am grateful. |
