Modiin Maze
The buildings in Modiin form a labyrinthine cityscape. Each structure is sharply geometric—cubes, rectangles, and angular prisms stacked and interlocked, like a maze, creating a sense of complexity and order at the same time. The colors are muted so the focus is on the structure and pattern, though occasional accents like a bright rooftop or a patch of greenery, emphasizes depth. The interlocking forms make some parts feel close and tangible while others recede into distance. The city almost looks like a puzzle or circuit board, with repeating patterns and angles that feel both precise and slightly overwhelming. The painting evokes a sense of curiosity—inviting the viewer to mentally navigate its pathways—and a subtle tension between human order and the chaos of so many interwoven spaces.

My work reflects paradoxes of everyday life. What is not always apparent or clearly visible is lurking beneath the surface. I focus on scenes that are familiar and significant to me that reflect internal tensions in a seemingly tranquil landscape. I alternate between painting my environment in the United States and of Israel, using brushstroke and color to evoke a mood or feeling enveloping me in each setting.
