expressive monochromatic (black and white) portrait, based on an iconic photograph of the legendary artist Pablo Picasso.

Yoel BenEzra
Yoel Ben Ezra (1979, Zikhron Ya'akov) is a self-taught artist who works primarily in oil painting, as well as analog and digital photography. His artistic vision is based on a single prominent presence set against a quiet and minimalist background. The gaze is entirely focused on the object, the environment is removed, and the materiality of the paint becomes the central presence on the canvas. The subject stands in its solitude, free from distractions, demanding full attention. It is precisely out of this intense focus that the subject opens up to interpretation, inviting the viewer to complete the story.
