In my artistic practice, I delve into the tension between beauty and hardness, exploring the juxtaposition of tenderness with violence. I delve into the realm of vulgarity while maintaining a delicate balance that challenges the uniformity of our visual culture today. Through my work, I aim to break away from aesthetic norms, embracing diverse painting techniques and fragments to resist conformity and search to increase the tension inside the action of painting and transform it into the viewer's reality.

Drawing inspiration from the history of painting and traditions within it, I engage in a dialogue between art and context, seeking to strip down contextual constraints and explore the concept of artistic freedom. My process is intuitive, often beginning with revisiting old paintings and adding layers until a narrative emerges, ultimately aiming to create a mysterious dark yet alluring image, in my paintings, I explore the dissonance between material and narrative.

Emotionally charged and driven by a profound desire, my paintings serve as a counter-reaction to societal issues, particularly stemming from the complexities of the situation in Israel where I was born. Through my reluctance to commit to an artistic style, I confront the visibility of social media and the algorithms that dictate narratives, sedating reality. Through my visual research, I strive to illuminate hidden truths and evoke discomforting reflections in viewers. This desire extends beyond mere representation; it invites viewers to construct their narratives, challenging conventional modes of thought through aesthetic inquiry and eclecticism. I aim to provoke a sense of tension and dissonance, akin to the fragmented nature of a dream, where the meeting of art and context becomes unclear. By transcending familiar signifiers into the realm of abstraction, I seek to create a space where viewers can engage with the complexities of the human experience.

As I navigate the intersection of narrative, abstraction, and signifier within the act of painting, my work serves as a container for empathy. By weaving together stories from history, current events, and personal biography, I aim to challenge viewers' perceptions of reality and invite them to question familiar narratives. Through subtle shifts and reinterpretations, I spark doubt and curiosity, encouraging engagement with the deeper layers of meaning embedded within each painting. Ultimately, my artistic research in painting catalyzes aesthetic inquiry, urging viewers to construct their own narratives and embrace the tension and dissonance inherent in the artwork—this process of challenging conventional perceptions and igniting curiosity. I aim to leave an imprint on viewers and mirror reality, especially the parts that lack representation in existing words.
