As an artist, I draw inspiration from personal photographs to revisit and transform meaningful moments in my life. Each painting becomes a window into memoryโa way to process emotions and give them visual form. Through repetition and exploration, I discover freedom and a deeper understanding of color, shape, and feeling. Color lies at the heart of my work, a space where control meets release, and the real merges with the imagined. As an immigrant from France living in Israel, art has become my languageโa way to express identity, belonging, and transformation. As both a teacher and exhibiting artist, I find inspiration in the constant exchange between creating, reflecting, and connecting with others.
