Abstract art is music. It has rhythm and hues that can be listened to, and is created by visual sentences that are an expression of sensations beyond words. It is created by an impulse confronting the white canvas and an inner mental movement.
Abstract art reveals inner formulas that are in the core of living processes. All verticals are standing up as trees and sprouts do. All horizontals are laying down as the earth and the horizon do, all diagonals are ready to act and move from one side to the other. Dots are passive and lines are active they can be heavy and sink or light and float and fly.
The sky and earth, the up and down innate in our body-image relates all abstracts in to a set of the six axes of the directions: up-down, front-back, right-left.
In the six directions a drama prevails.
This is the language I use in my abstract paintings.
At the year 2007 I was commissioned by the Israeli galley in Jerusalem to exhibit abstract paintings in the Panorama hotel in Jerusalem. I chose to deal with the idea of Three religions, each taking a different color "dancing" around a white shape.
After the exhibition took place many works were sold through the Israeli Gallery in Jerusalem that has since closed. Some went to decorate offices and others were bought by private collections.
In 2008 I was invited to exhibit in arestaurant-gallery in Binyamina by the curator Dorit Talmon, in which I showed the 'Flower Pots' series (see below).
