About my artwork

I have always been a landscape painter. A few years ago I started noticing the trucks: the powerful Mack trucks building the new neighborhood of Har Homa and the highly decorated trucks that plied the roads of Judea. Trucks that reflected the strength of the landscape and trucks that imposed a harmony of color and shape upon it. While the trucks seem to upstage and dominate the landscape in fact the landscape contains and displays them. Painting the trucks for me represents the daily existence between Jews and Arabs expressed through an aesthetic reality - the complexities and contradictions that are a part of my life here.
