Mother
This oil on canvas brings together bold color and tender observation in a striking figurative composition. A seated figure and child are rendered with expressive brushwork, while the luminous yellow drapery, turquoise bench, and saturated blue ground create a vivid emotional tension between intimacy, shelter, and public space.

am a painter who photographs my experiences and then transfers them to colors and shapes on canvas. Recently I decided to create connections between my memories of my childhood and my past and my present. I was born in Tunisia and left my childhood and grandmother there. In my latest works there are connections between that girl whose world changed in an instant, without her choosing, upon immigrating to Israel, and the adult woman that I am today, a grandmother myself, an artist and an art instructor in various workshops. Jumps of longing for childhood in the face of the power of life and presence in Israel. I am not a political artist, all my works are very personal and are a collection of emotions, memories and thoughts about then and now. In one of my works, I gathered under one canvas experiences from several worlds and places in the world: India, Santorini, Tunisia and Israel. My works are not realistic photographs of the places but an adaptation of what my physical eyes see through my inner eye, the experiences and emotions. My admiration for what my eyes truly see and my desire for more people to see the beauty of creation like I do.
