I make art about cities, adding a personal touch of my own reflections and experiences. I am trained as an architect and an urbanist and believe art makes a significant contribution to city making - and vice versa. I paint to explore this relationship, discovering the links between people and the urban condition. My work draws inspiration from across the multidisciplinary world of city shaping practices - from graphic design to planning, from photography to engineering. I live and work in London. Born and raised in Tel Aviv, I was always fascinated by the complexity of the ‘big city’ as a melting pot, strongly influenced by questions of identity, belonging and change. These are key concepts I explore through art. I like my work to be expressive and intuitive, working with a limited palette, using geometry and layering to create an impactful image of real-life complex urban situations.
