Artist Statement
"I am an artist with a dual identity - Israeli/Mexican, specializing in colourful abstract paintings with dual elements, in which there is an emphasis on values and symbols hidden in a pictorial narrative with a message of "repair", artworks that wish for a better world than it is today.
My paintings are characterized by dualism and color rooted in Mexico where I grew up. I make use of contrasting elements which eventually reach balance and harmony. I intend to denote a state of two parts, a view about the relationship between mind and matter where two opposites co-exist in harmony.
I am in a constant search for rhythm and abstract construction, using color and shapes that will evoke feelings and present the dual meanings that characterize me. Some of the shapes are created randomly by meeting the spaces between the lines; others are subject to an orderly rule. Disorder with "very neat" geometric figures that repeat themselves like folded corners revealing two sides of the same pattern, a repeating wave, X's that form a pair of wings that I wish to set free and yet, the meanings are left to the viewer's free will”.
