Gallery 1		I found Jewish art to be the most significant teaching tradition Jews employ to explore and pass down their cultural and religious identity. As I let the paint go off of my brush, I am fully aware that I am carrying on an ancient tradition of the Jewish People. Having the experience of living and creating Art in Israel brings a special meaning to me and my art. "Individually, his paintings are frozen in time and space moments but collectively they tell a compelling story about the struggles and triumph of the Jewish people." - Jewish Press, NY ~2004
Gallery 2		The old saying in Venice says, "The long nose of the mask is the Venetian Symbol". You put the mask on when you want to be different; to hide your feelings, your purposes, have your little intrigues and remain undiscovered. From the ancient times, Venetian masks were made to represent faces of mystical characters, never seen but believed to exist. The Venice itself is the city in mask and through that mask that enchanted city is looking on the surrounding world. "Venice through the mask's eyes" that is how I named the series of work, where he is looking in the eyes of every one of his mask, and discovers for us the most sensitive places of the treasury of Venice. When the series of masks would be completed and brought together, we would see the gold of costumes and silver of laces and masks... masks... masks, and also the mirror reflection of the most breath taking performance in the world - the Venice Carnival.
Gallery 3		Women... The eternal topic that has always captured the interests of the greatest of the talents. How do you paint the world around you without a woman in it? I find it impossible…. I will show you the woman the way I see her, with all her mysteriousness and beauty, full of everlasting energy and love. I know I can never be completely successful in accomplishing this task since the enigmatic nature of the woman is very hard to capture and depict. But I will try to create one image after another after another until I get close to the perfection.
Gallery 4		As the models for the still-life artist using simple, familiar and habitual subjects and also something unusual, original, including fruits, flowers, cans with paint and brushes. "Inanimate world" which is silently built ahead of us in still-life, is the core of the statement of the artist that the same way is an allegory of silence, loneliness and rest. Painting becomes means of meditation. In still-life the artist checks the ability of vision. As opens at a sight at, apparently, those ordinary things that surround the person in daily occurrence much. But master’s talent - to choose, group some subjects, to be pulled together in due course and to revive this imperceptible small world.
