Textures for Dad
I love textures.
I love to feel them, and also to smell and taste almost everything (mainly rocks on field trips), but that's beside the point.
I love to use them in my work - paintings and jewelry alike, and one of the main reasons is my Dad.
Dad was a very talented and skillful craftsman. As a child I loved to watch him work, so I became his diligent apprentice for decades. Much of what I learned from him is reflected in my art.
As I grew up, we began to dream on a joint studio, where we could work together after his retirement. Sadly, he lost his eyesight, so I began using textures in my work for him to"see" with his fingertips.
I lost Dad last week.
He, who was my most strict critic, was also one of the biggest fans of my work.
I will always cherish him, not just in my heart, but also through the design process of each painting and jewelry piece, and in my longing to "show" them to him.

In The Beginning
How
does one become an artist?
Is
it genetic? Acquired? Chance?
I
can track back my first artistic thoughts to kindergarten, at 5 years old.
One
was when my friend, Orit, sketched a figure and drew to many contour lines for the hands. When painting inside she realized making a mistake and fixed it, but I was disappointed. I
really liked those extra lines, and thought it was wonderful and imaginative.
Another
was being fed up with threading plastic beads, and looking for other options.
The teacher's assistant took some olive kernels and showed me how to grind
their tips on a stone to make holes. I coated the kernels with gouache paint
and created my first necklace.
I come from a family of
craftsmen and artists, so becoming a creative artist seemed natural for me. However,
support for my young talent came from other places, mainly my art teacher at
school. When I expressed my wish to learn art in high school, my father
replied that it's better to learn a trade, and sent me to learn bookkeeping.
Me,
bookkepping???
I'm still lost in my bank statements!!!
Soon
he realized his mistake, and became a source of support. Art became a built-in
part of my routine.

StudioD began its first steps about 30 years ago, when I quit my Architecture studies. At first it seemed to be a good substitute for art, but soon I found myself longing to form and shape materials with my bare hands. I began designing jewelry made of leftover modeling cardboard, and can sincerely say that they were the best outcome of my studies.

Why Blog?
I already have a website and
even a blog (in Hebrew),
so why blog here?
As it happens, my other blog turned to be mostly of travel and
geology (yeh, I'm a little freaky...) and a little about writing in Wikipedia
(again, in Hebrew; again, geology), but only a tiny little bit about art and
creativity.
One may think that my personal website is a good place to write,
and it would be true if all I wanted is to lecture.
No. What I miss mostly is a dialog.
Creativity
and its artistic manifestations do not thrive in vacuum. Also, I
don't believe in rivalry between artists but in mutual inspiration. The best
example I can think of is the impressionists and their group
exhibitions. Another is professional guilds, which we rarely see these days.
Talking
about inspiration, if one is a multi-disciplinary artist, each discipline can
inspire another. People who are familiar with my work claim that my paintings
and jewelry show similarities. I agree. It often happens that elements I use in jewelry find their
way into my paintings – such as metallic tints and deep textures. Lately it inversed, as the vibrant colors of my paintings
found their way into my new jewelry collection.
