like to call the source of
creation that is within us
all.

| 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. |
