Vivid Crosscurrents
Sweeping pink, green, orange, and yellow passages collide across the surface in a layered abstract composition, punctuated by white breaks and darker purple accents. Oil on canvas is worked with broad, gestural strokes and scraped textures that reveal a lively built surface. The result is energetic and open, bringing movement and color into a contemporary interior.

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.
