Medium Oil on canvas | Size 70x50 cm (approx. 27.5x19.6 inches)
Naomi smiles a warm smile,
holding a granddaughter in a white dress.
Female strength passed down through the generations.
She immigrated to Israel during the establishment of the state,
never allowing the challenges of the time to subdue her.
She raised a family,
cleaned houses to bring bread home,
opened her house to wanderers seeking food and a place to sleep.
Naomi is a role model for what true female empowerment looks like.
The rich colors symbolize the joy of life and vitality that characterized Naomi despite the hardships.
The center of the painting is figurative, showing a clear image,
becoming increasingly abstract with sketch-like lines and an open background.
This leaves space for imagination so that everyone can find their own personal story in the painting.
The painting Naomi is part of a moving series of works.
Oil on canvas paintings combining realistic and abstract styles.
The series tells the story of Rabbi Zecharia and Naomi Bashari, my late grandparents,
figures of values and Zionist pioneers who immigrated to Israel at its founding.
Love, family, Judaism, and Zionism are the values they lived by.
I invite you on an emotional journey into a world of colors, emotions, and stories.
Each painting is a unique creation, full of life and personality.
Every work is an invitation to internal reflection and a connection to your personal memories and stories.
