Mixed Media

These Israeli Landscapes and Old City are result of multi-layering process,

transformed from traditional art, photography and digital art.
These are historical photographs showing the downtown of Haifa before the restoration took place. For processing these photographs, I used Computer's software. The process is based on computerized photography technology. Originally, intensive Mediterranean light caused the sky to appear in saturated blue color. I changed the saturation of the color in order to get monochromatic effects emphasizing the aging of houses. Also, I removed from the houses boards and signs, in order to get rid of temporary elements. We may see beginnings to new life in some of the pictures, for example: Repaired window, washings hanged on the rope, chair hinting presence of human beings, and beam of light falling on green grass that started to grow between the ruins. Lately I began to add more growth sings, using acrylic technique, in order to emphasize the potential beauty embodied in our present life
Mixed-Media refers to a highly specialized artistic process. This involves parts of my paintings with high-precision zoom photos and work with Computer software, then digital printing onto high-end American canvas. These superb works are then finely and expertly touched up by hand with Acrylic top-quality colors such as Talens or Van Gogh . Talens spray is finally added providing each item resistance against solar ultra-violet radiation, a potential damager of fine art. Each piece is thus an exquisitely unique, collector’s item
