This story an an allegory with many layers and meanings: on the one

hand, it's a sarcastic perspective on romantic dreams to fly (really

and metaphorically). On the other hand, it's about a freedom of

expression. You can be very talented, but always there'll be somebody

who will try to crap on your head and your creation. And of course

it's also about a freedom of speech...

By the way, which birds are angry in this story - those who crap or

those who are been crapped?!

This artwork is a cooperation with the talented acant-garde dancers

group Maria Kong.

Some may see in this artwork religious motives of Buddhism,

Christianity and Judaism; some will see the icon from early

renaissance; some will see here a time traveler or space traveler;

some will see relations between father and son... And all will be

true, this work has many layers.

But for me, as a mother, I see the purest and the most innocent

creation, and I ask myself how to preserve this innocence? And this is

the most important for me.

In the picture my son Emmanuel and his father. The words on the wall

are in Hebrew - his name, Hebrew date of birth and part of the psalm

Isaiah 7:14.

Note: the red dot is from birth and the sphere is real.

Inspired by the "Cat's cradle" game and the "The Creation of Adam"

fresco by Michelangelo.

Cooperation project to with the singer Shlomit Levi and music producer

RebbeSoul.

"Big Brother is watching you"... Inspired by George Orwell's fiction

1984 and 2014 of today's reality...

Collaboration project with the group of talented and creative

avant-garde dancers Maria Kong

It's an ironic perspective on the old Pinup posters with flirting

housewives, that were popular in the fifties. How is it compared to

the beauty magazines of today? Is it less vulgar? In this work I

wanted to create an ironic story Anti Pinup style.

Rebirth of Venus - is a story of Venus, born in our reality of today.
It's inspired by "The Birth of Venus" by Sandro Botticelli, great Italian painter of the Early Renaissance.
Unlike Venus of Botticelli, which is very romantic painting, the real world we live in today is far from being romantic. This why my digital painting is less romantic and more sarcastic. In this work instead of pastoral sea you'll find an image of sea on dirty and peeled wall, instead of seashell - a manhole cover, instead of flowers - cigarette butts and alcohol bottles. It also includes many other ironic and sarcastic elements which you are welcome to find...

► Duration: 22/02 - 25/03/2013

“... of wandering forever and the Earth... Who owns the Earth? Did we

want the Earth? That we should wander on it? Did we need the Earth

that we were never still upon it? Whoever needs the Earth shall have

the Earth; he shall be upon in, he shall rest within a little place,

he shall dwell in one small room forever..."

What is normal and what is deviance? Normal - is it good? Deviance -

is it bad? Or may be normal is mediocrity and deviance is genius?

Someone won't be afraid of his originality and will be burned at the

stake. Someone will be lucky to be considered a genius. And someone

will simply prefer to dissociate himself from the outside world by

transparent and impenetrable sphere. These are some of my thoughts in

the series - "Spheres of Deviance." With Jenny Pakman and Gilad Blum
