“I have come to the realization that I am always thinking
and listening to two things at once.
I expect everyone does that a little.
Some impressions are so vague that only when we remember them afterwards
are we aware of them at all.
I think these impressions form a part (the internal part, perhaps)
of this double attention we all pay to things. In my case the two realities
I attend to have equal weight. In that lies my originality. In that, perhaps,
lie both my tragedy and comedy of my tragedy.”
Fernando Pessoa the book of Disquiet
Biography
I was born in 1975 in Jerusalem, Israel
Where i still lives and works.
Self-taught artist from an immigrant, working-class neighborhood in
Jerusalem.
my first studio was nestled on a hilltop overlooking Jerusalem’s picturesque Old City
whose ancient walls appear in many of my early artworks.
I get inspired and taught special painting techniques from the Israeli master
artist, Schwebel.
also i spent considerable periods of my professional career painting abroad,
particularly in Spain’s Granada and Seville where i immersed myself in the rich and
colorful Spanish culture of music and dance.
I derives inspirations from the methods of the Renaissance painters who created
their own paints; I creates my own colors using pigments and the Renaissance
techniques of mixing them to create oil paint.
I draws inspiration from my rich Moroccan heritage, the incomparable beauty of
Jerusalem, and my deep love for my wife Sharon, a flamenco dancer.
