This complete series was made during lockdown. As I set up a table at home to create room for creativity and mindfulness, I was observing the influence of light and time. I started to paint, not knowing when I would be able to go out again. With of the absence of direct light, I worked with mirrors, dichroic cubes and artificial light sources. The main idea was to capture light at different times of day and interpret these moments with gestures of varying intensity and a dialogue between colors. Much like my own inner dialogue, some days the results were harmonious and some days they were filled with intensity. One of my color theories is about the addition of different colors and their interaction in response to the surface. Colors can have a completely different impact depending on the proportions in which they are used and their juxtaposition. My painting process is about reducing the gesture, by doing the same over and over, until it becomes a choreography, with the gesture as a ritual and a mindscape for both me and the viewer. All these works are made from reclaimed wood, jig -sawed by hand. It is central to my practice to use sustainable materials and to encourage the art world and other creatives to be more sensitive to this subject.

Infinite light
grey variation between illuminating yellow, purple and ultimate grey. Some reflection on the color of the year (pantone 2021).
I created a grey from scratch, as you know black is not in my color palette, and I manage my colors as RGB spectrum.
As said before I have been reductive in my process, and pushed boundaries of color theory and geometric structure to create mindscape. These abstract vortex became more present in my repertoire, little by little growing as a garden of torus, light and space at their purest state.
Flip it as you day go by.

Earth Spectrum
Part of my process is about metrics regarding climate change. I often look up to maps, facts regarding temperature and evolution.
Lately, the temperatures went higher and are causing damages today and forever.
According to these studies I develop color palette that represents temperatures, lands, or width of damage or proofs of the climate and nature observation. At the same time I try to balance the composition to bring some healing and kindness into the painting, for me and for the viewer.
I hope that observing this painting can bring awareness to this subject for us.
Also I only use materials found in the streets or leftover to build artwork that also intend to be sustainable.

Blue like an orange
while the second lockdown, I was mainly observing light, and time influence, as usual checking maps on NASA and other databases to observe nature and human influence on Earth. Realizing that our actions had so much influence on habitat and also inspired by different social movement here in Israel and around the world. according to all this, I developed a palette, and then create a pattern, reduce the gesture for each layer until there is no surface to paint.
I wish the viewer can enjoy it as a meditation perspective to establish with the outside world, in lockdown or not. create a colorful bridge between tangible and intangible.
this one is based on simple color harmony of complementary colors, blue and orange, slightly creating gradient, as a light tunnel going inside out.
Light as this unique perception that we all relate and can perceive differently depending on where we are, and when. intangible moment of hope consumed at the same time as we enjoy it.

Light Arrhythmia
It’s always in dark times that you find a breach that lead to a new exit.
Accepting vulnerability, doubt and failure was a journey but today I feel it’s a great relief.
Sometimes the perception of light, inner or outside ones were difficult. Each step of the journey is giving a new halo on the destination.
I think the different movement and harmony created during this last period were a new leap in this direction.

de88.net hôm trước mình cũng tò mò vào thử vì thấy mọi người nhắc hoài. Mình không đọc kỹ nội dung gì đâu, chỉ lướt xem giao diện ra sao thôi. Cảm giác đầu tiên là trang nhìn sáng và thoáng, không bị nhồi nhét quá nhiều thứ một lúc nên kéo xuống khá dễ chịu. Mình để ý cái menu đặt khá “đúng chỗ”, nhìn phát là biết bấm đi đâu, chuyển qua lại giữa các mục cũng nhanh, không phải tìm vòng vòng. Mấy phần thông tin họ chia thành từng khối riêng, canh lề gọn gàng nên liếc qua là hiểu đại khái chứ không rối mắt. Nói chung lướt vài phút thấy ổn, nhất là cách…
This page is pretty chill to browse—nothing feels cluttered or like it’s trying too hard. I like that the text is broken up enough that you can skim and still get the idea without rereading. I ended up clicking into Drift Boss in the middle of scrolling, and it loads fast and gets you into the drifting right away with that one-button setup. It’s simple at first, but you can tell pretty quickly that the timing’s the whole challenge. Also nice that you’re not wading through a bunch of fluff just to figure out what the game even is. The headings stand out, and the “How to Play” info sits in a clean, easy-to-spot block.
kèo nhà cái mình thấy nhắc hoài nên bữa rảnh vào xem thử cho biết chứ cũng không phải dân soi kèo gì đâu. Cái mình để ý đầu tiên là bảng kèo bóng đá trực tuyến họ để theo trận trong ngày, nhìn khá dễ chịu, lướt một phát là thấy ngay trận nào đang có tỷ lệ. Mình thích kiểu trình bày số liệu thẳng hàng, không nhồi màu mè nên mắt đỡ bị loạn. Với lại họ chia rõ phần cả trận và hiệp 1, nên ai chỉ muốn xem nhanh cũng không phải bấm qua lại nhiều. Nói chung vào xem cho vui mà thấy bố cục ổn, nhất là đoạn bảng có cột 1x2 và…
