| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
By blending realism, surrealism and symbolism, Avihai transfers the natural and individual world as he understands it. Avihai combines figurative humanity, which is reflected in his personal life, into the life of existential nature and flight, bringing all orderly patterns into one visual scene.
These scenes exhibit the existential reality, the environmental harmony and the complexity of the human invention.
“Elevations, My Dear” is a continuation of Avihai’s magical journey which began at a moment of grace. A journey through a long curved road, isolated at times, flooded with illusions and subject to various metamorphoses. A journey that began with sweeping sensation insight, boisterous colors, rejuvenation, examination of unanswered mysteries and at its end, crusts yet another piece of simplified conclusion, but still, honest. |

| Your Personal Biography |
Avihai Cohen, born 1963, an autodidact painter from childhood, came to independent art only at the beginning of the 21st century after going through a series of back operations, in which the last one left his left leg disabled. At the previous period of his life, Avihai owned a studio for design and illustration. As of the 21st century he became a wholly dedicated painter and artist.
Premiere exhibition “Moment of Mercy” was exhibited at Amalia Arbel Gallery, 2003.
Several other group and single exhibitions were to follow since |
