Painting for me is freedom.
Through bold colors, spontaneous movement, and layers of encounters between line and patch, I create a space of curiosity, passion, and joy of life.
The paintings are not planned; they crystallize from immersion in the process and letting go of control. The works combine depth with lightness. They convey confidence and a cohesive presence, while remaining open and inviting the viewer to enter, stay, and meet themselves within.
For me, painting is far beyond a finished object. It's a way of being present, of meeting life's complexity - the beauty, the vulnerability, and the courage we need to be true to ourselves. It's a practice of empowerment that allows for uncompromising enthusiasm alongside deep inner reflection.
My work, as well as the workshops I've facilitated for hundreds of people, seeks to remind us that creativity is a space of possibility - a place where we can return to play, dare, and feel at home. It's an invitation to connect with creation and with ourselves.

When I thought what I would like to hang on my office wall, the wall in front of me, which I see for long hours every day, it was clear to me that it had to be something that was very "me". With miraculous timing, a conversation with Tamar arrived, and I suddenly realized that she would know exactly how to express, without me having to explain, what I wanted. The code name exchanged between us was "the picture with the rose" and that was enough. A few weeks later, the interpretation of Tamar, my father's sister, who was killed when I was one and a half years old, came as an abstract painting includes a picture of him and me, with the rose bush. There is no doubt, there can be no more "me" than that. I am excited every time to look up at the wall in front of me...

I saw Tamar's artworks in a group exhibition at Zichron Yaakov. The two paintings immediately caught my eye.
For many years I have been interested in art, visiting galleries (mainly in Asia and Australia where I have lived for over two decades) and often buying works that I connect with.
The immediate connection to these paintings made me happy and the timing was wonderful because my eldest son moved to New York and I decided to buy them so that one of them would move with him to New York, and the other would return with me to Sydney, Australia.
The absolute connection between the two made it more profound. Even though the two paintings will be a great distance apart, the connection between them, like the connection between me and my son, will always exist.
Even today, when my gaze meets Tamar's painting in Sydney, I immediately think of its other part on the other side of the world.
