I have been painting landscapes ever since I remember. My professional adventure began in the Negev Desert where I worked and lived for several years. After studying art in New York under the guidance of late Prof Lennart Anderson, I moved to Hawaii in order to challenge myself with its unique landforms and seascapes. Since then I have traveled extensively to remote locations in search of inspiration and new experiences in painting.
Each location means a fresh look at things. I paint from observation only, and must face the elements over a long period of time until I feel something from the essence of the place, then I translate it into visual language.
