Ember and Midnight
Broad, layered strokes gather into an abstract field of deep blue, black, white, pink, and burning orange. The oil on canvas surface shifts between dense, scraped passages and softer blended areas, giving the composition weight, movement, and a tactile painterly presence. It brings a dramatic, energetic mood while remaining nuanced in its color transitions.

My artistic approach is based on stain painting using a method of creative release, the technique through which I learned to paint and which I apply in my own art and with my students. I paint both from observation and imagination, with my main subjects being the landscapes of my childhood, moving between Kibbutz Magen in the western Negev and Jerusalem, where I was born. My work combines different media, mainly oil on canvas and linen, pastels, watercolor, and gouache. Each medium allows me room to search and wander creatively, giving me the freedom to express painterly stains, release, and vibrant color in its own distinct way.
