Gathering in Winter Light
A bundled crowd gathers in a snow-covered setting, facing a dark, steep-spired building whose lit windows punctuate the pale scene; a long boat curves across the middle ground. Broad, textured acrylic whites meet loose dark contours, with muted pink and blue woven through the figures and sky. The strong tonal contrast creates a wintry, communal mood suited to a living room or office.
YOCHAI AMAD
Artist Statement I began drawing at a very young age, driven by a natural desire to understand the world around me. My earliest works focused on people—individuals whose presence, character, or life stories left a deep impression on me, whether positive or challenging. Over the past several years, I have been studying with the artist Shira Gafstein, a journey that has profoundly enriched my artistic development and expanded my visual language. Today, I work across a variety of styles, with most of my paintings emerging from my inner world, imagination, and personal vision. Through my work, I seek to invite viewers into a space where reality and imagination merge, allowing each person to discover their own interpretation and emotional connection to the painting. Over the years, art has become much more than a creative practice for me; it has become a language through which I explore emotions, memories, and imagination. Painting offers me a space for freedom, reflection, and at times, refuge, enabling me to transform inner experiences into visual expression.
