Grapes in Terracotta Pots
Two terracotta pots overflow with grape clusters and broad vine leaves, filling the composition with layered greens, violets, and cool blue light. Acrylic on canvas is combined with collage elements that create a richly textured surface, especially across the leaves and lower passages. The result is lush and abundant, balancing still-life structure with a lively, tactile presence.

I have been working in the field of optics for 47 years. I guide my clients with care and dedication, ensuring I bring them the latest innovations in the industry. Alongside my professional work, I have been painting for many years. I was once part of a group of Arab and Jewish women who painted together under the name "Olive Tree" . The WIZO organization sponsored the group, and our paintings were exhibited both in Israel and abroad. My creative process begins with a photographer's eye; I set out to capture moments that speak to meโlandscapes, animals, light, or a small detail that catches my attention. I then take that photograph and translate it onto canvas through painting. In this way, two worlds converge in my work. Photography captures a real, precise moment exactly as the eye saw it, while painting infuses it with soul, texture, and personal interpretation. The result is a piece born of reality that evolves into something far more emotional and personal.
