Medium Oil on canvas | Size 60x60 cm (approx. 23.6x23.6 inches)
I started this painting from an inner urge, stepping out onto my balcony in Kedumim in Samaria.
I looked at the landscape before me, green mountains alongside old village houses.
This view tells so much about the complexity of the Jewish settlement in Israel.
It is a story of the ancient and inseparable bond of the People of Israel to their land.
A story that unfortunately has claimed a very heavy price throughout the generations.
Like music playing in my head, the painting flowed without struggle.
I began by sketching the landscape in an abstract way, large geometric shapes with clean and simple lines connecting to one another.
I touched the canvas with my brush and the colors flowed, browns, greens, and grays. Each shape is part of a moving story.
Immediately after this piece, I painted another inspired by this view, The Green View from the Balcony.
The connection between a modern design style and an ancient, historical landscape invites us to think about the concept of settlement in a new way.
Each of us will see something different in it.
The painting is part of a series of abstract paintings, fascinating and full of chic, drawing inspiration from Israeli landscapes and Jewish values, and corresponding with the world of modern design.
Contrary to a realistic painting that presents a defined and clear image, an abstract painting is undefined, and that is its magic.
An abstract painting is essentially an invitation to a game, a kind of riddle.
It allows everyone to see something else and invites us to a world of interpretation.
Additionally, it embodies several paintings within it, as you can turn it around and receive a new painting every time.
This painting can fit in the bedroom, the living room, or an entryway niche. It is modern, full of chic, and thought-provoking.
It can be styled above a wooden console or alongside greenery for a warm, rich look.
You can also hang it or lean it against a neutral wall for a clean and calming feel.
