My paintings, drawings, and etchings stem from an inner dialogue as a creator. I paint because I cannot do otherwise. My artistic practice is the most direct and spontaneous expression of myself as both an artist and a woman. It reveals my true personality, my emotions, and the way I experience life in a given moment. I strive to convey the human condition in all its shades. With a swift and confident line, I draw delicate, aesthetic, melancholic, and serene female figures. I often find myself within my models and frequently create self-portraits. I frequently work on a large scale, enjoying the physicality of painting with my whole body, using free movements and thick brushes. This physical freedom allows me to spread across the canvas an expressive and authentic experience of observing my subject.

I enjoy working in a variety of techniques and combining them on a single surface. Pastel, acrylic, and pencil intertwine, freeing me from the need to decide how or what to paint, and allowing me to concentrate and create. Through spontaneous creation, I integrate fragments of the art traditions of the 20th century on which I was raised and educated. I am fascinated by the drawings of artists such as Toulouse-Lautrec, Egon Schiele, and Degas. The composition of the nude body as an abstract object, detached from time or place, enables me to experience the body as a natural object whose imperfections testify to its beauty.

In addition, I often explore still life. I am intrigued by the way light falls on objects, by the play of shadows and transparencies, and by the chromatic qualities revealed in everyday items such as glass bowls or copper vessels. The choice of diffused, soft light and delicate, bright chromatic solutions provides an atmosphere of quiet harmony and intimacy, one I seek to experience myself. Smaller and medium-sized canvases, which I consider ideal for still life painting, allow me to conduct a poetic study of the relationships between the shapes of everyday objects and the emotional resonance of their colors.

Two periods of painting characterize my work. In the early period, I brought forth fantastic figures set against mysterious worlds. These figures reflected the fear and insecurity I felt within me. They were allegorical representations of dark human emotions, born from a closed and melancholic state of mind. Today, my inner connection with myself drives me outward, to observe reality. After nearly a decade of working in etching alongside the artist Itzchak Tarkay, I began to explore ways of reinterpreting historical techniques from a contemporary perspective. Recently, I have been experimenting with cyanotype, pushing the creative boundaries of the technique by drawing directly on acetate instead of photographing on it. I call this process cyanography. My aim is to challenge the conventions of the cyanotype, typically characterized by its blue monochromatic effects, and to enhance the expressive qualities of the work by using pen and brush.

I see myself as a humanist, expressionist, and experimental artist. My goal is to continue delving into my inner depths while reflecting them through external observation, creating intimate moments of connection with the viewer.
