Alps 18

For me, art is an endless journey where unexpected highlights are experienced along the way. In this art path, there is no preplanning, sketches, or clear view about the end result of an artwork, but rather a trust in the way, a confidence that the outcome of my artistic process would mark for me a meaningful journey full of awe and inspiration.
My journey combines flow and layers which are displayed on canvases, what happens on the canvases resonates with my dreams, thoughts, and emotions, and the creative process on my canvases became an unseparated part of my life.
I am constructed out of layers, physical body, memories, and thoughts, I am in constant movement, life is about experiencing the flow of time, it is my choice how to spend my limited quota of days and moments, I choose to live the FLY - Free the Life within You - way of life, with three main elements:
Flow, of colors
Merge, contradicting ingredients
Layers, celebrating each layer on my canvases and in my life
FLY is about letting go, not everything needs an explanation, reasoning, an approval, I am not trying to determine precisely what will be the final result, I find it liberating to let my mind focus on the process rather than on the result, FLY is about celebrating the unexpected.
This surprising method took me to the most unexpected places from San Miguel de Allende in Mexico to Kathmandu in Nepal, I led many FLY workshops around the globe and met many open and curious human beings, some of them became like family to me, I delivered lectures and workshops in universities and academies, schools and art centers, in all the FLY workshops the same inspiration is shared, what happens on the canvases is always a miracle for me, and as a way of life I believe in miracles, in the power of being immersed in a creative moment and be open to embrace any unexpected outcome, this miraculous way led me to collaborations I never dreamed about, like a fashion line in Milano, creating my art on Ferrari cars, series of handmade carpets with my art in Bhadohi India, series of furniture, jewelry, lighting, and projects with V5 Architect firm - implementing my art on building facades.
My master Shlomo Tzafrir said that if I want to be an artist, I need to be ready, as a fisherman is always ready and has a fishing rod nearby, so a painter has to have his canvases and colors in immediate reach, from that day on I kept my canvases and colors close by. I started an unexpected full of surprises journey, painting the Deep Space series - galaxies and stars,
The Human Formation series - ovum and sperm, the development of embryos in the womb
and the Cycles of Life series about symbolism and the human journey.
In the Covid days I started an online journey, creating my first FLY online course in Udemy, and my first online store on Etsy that sells my designs on shoes, fashion, bags, and accessories, recently I started my first steps in the NFT realm with the Niftorian accelerator and I find it quite fascinating
Every human being that is exposed to the FLY essence is invited to be part of the larger FLY family and to start its own unexpected, full of-surprises, inspiring journey.
My life mission is to be always there, support, share and spread the FLY essence to as many human beings worldwide.
Have magic in your life
