Concept

to be updatedMost of my life, I have engaged in commercial photography as a fashion and portrait photographer for one of the leading Israeli newspapers, and later in the advertising-photography studio I established. I did not imagine that I would engage in art photography, but various dramatic changes in my life had evoked in me a powerful need to engage in photography for the purpose of expressing myself, and it was in this way that I entered this field.

My digital-art pieces are created by integrating the digital-photography technique with computer graphics. The works are composed of many layers of photographs. The photographs which appear in my works are taken both in my studio and in a natural environment, at times after planning beforehand and at times randomly. These are later incorporated into rooms, spaces, and graphic elements which I create using digital means. By employing different techniques in one piece, the details of the photographs which appear in it are endowed with a new meaning and a new reality composed of all the details which were joined together is created. My digital-art pieces are surrealistic; surrealism serves well the messages I seek to convey through my works.

In the creations, I integrate imaginative images of sublime nature with a cold, futuristic urban vista which is slowly taking hold of our world. I am preoccupied with the accelerated processes taking place in our world which affect the environment, the climate, and nature, as well as the future we would like to give our children. Through these works, I would like to have some influence on public opinion for the sake of creating a better future.

My works depict a world taken over by technological development, which threatens to destroy the primordiality and beauty of nature, and in this process, people lose touch with nature and are rendered disconnected and distant. Technology takes over the human spirit.
