If you're an artist, what kind of art do you make?: Conceptual, Painting, Photography

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 .

What exhibitions are good at the moment?: In Israel it's "cucumber time " and the galleries and musea do shows with their own collections .

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 :)
