Artistic Influences:
My paintings are mostly images when I saw them made me think about them or situations related to them, in some way moved or touched me.
In some of the works I am based on photographs from a collection I have accumulated while traveling abroad and in Israel
Some of the paintings depict a response to events that happened or to a sentence I heard or read
I did not study art history, or art studies, I just went through workshops to learn the techniques of painting, I do not even know how to define the style of my paintings
