I am...
an "emigrant" from 1951 in Israel . Was born in The Netherlands and finished highschool there .
I began to paint only in 1980 and was advised to learn the basics . The only way to combine working and studying was to learn Art at the Haifa University . After finishing my studies I went to Masterclasses for 7 years .Sinds then I did 16 oneman shows and about 30+ groups shows . I was awarded 3 international awards .
About my artwork
My work is abstract - minimalistic . I work with acrylic colors and sometimes finish with oil. My work is around an issue that has my attention and I work from memory and imagination . I paint very thin and do layer upon layer , so that allways the underground is visible and the colors merge .
Artists I like
Rothko
Kokoschka
Chagall
Miro
O'Keefe
Mondriaan
Kandinsky
Interests
Reading
Movies
Internet
Traveling
What exhibitions are good at the moment?
In Israel it's "cucumber time " and the galleries and musea do shows with their own collections .
The centre of the artworld is
New York, Berlin, online

I like especially your abstract photographs very much.
Also the black and white photographs of the flowers are very beautiful and tender

Hi Michal,

thank you! Given the very strong feedback for this video (which I had not originally foreseen), I am thinking of turining some of the stills into oil paintings.

Thank you for taking the time to watch! I definitely look forward to get to know your work better here on artreview!

Luke :)
