Rocket Launch Pad
A special time in the 1960’s of space exploration, observing those rockets blast off; suspenseful if the intended hardware or human, his mission, will succeed. It lead to fierce competition between the USA and Russia to conquer this new frontier. They created mistrust that escalated the Cold War. At the same time, because of enormous […]

Impromptu
Over ten years ago, amidst painting representational for a decade, I sketched lines that would begin at any edge of the page, change direction, and overlap many times in different directions, in a non-conflicting way. By creating areas of different shapes and sizes, it was intriguing no matter how many times I did this exercise […]
Expiration
This painting belongs to the Series “The Element: CREATION” – in itself the title of a painting that illustrates the Big Bang theory. The series then ends with EXPIRATION assuming, as shown, that all created bodies expire eventually from the centre out, the same way everything began. Acrylic with air brush on canvas 86.3 x […]
Penetrating Light
The spiritual presence in space and time. Oil on Canvas / 81.2 x 101.6 cm / 1996
Transition
In the past, the image of a sower in the fields expressed the change (transition) from a seed to a fruit in one way or another. This painting shows a sower in his movement, spreading the seed, in the present, moving towards the timeless future, in which we don’t know what he will reap. Oil […]
Winter in Britain

Tribute to Rembrandt
In the original, Rembrandt painted his son, reading. In my version however, I was trying to capture the essence of what made this painter so different from other painters. My tribute to Rembrandt is not meant as a copy of the original with his skill in technique or observation but, although in an semi-abstract manner, to emphasize the mystery and depth he […]
Lake in Britain
Another cultivated landscape that came to my attention, so pastoral and different from Canadian or American lake views. Oil on canvas / 60.9 x 80. 2 cm / 1993
Pointillist’s Still-life
My experiment in using the Pointillist’s technique. A still-life floral bouquet. Acrylic on Canvas / 40.6 x 50.8 cm / 1998
Composition Textured
Whatever explanation a viewer about this painting may be seeking, I would have to refer to clarifications in works as “Impromptu” and “Forms contrasted”. The latter is a graphite drawing with different designs in the many patterns as applied also in “Composition Textured”, except here enhanced and diversified through colours. Oil on canvas / 83.8 […]
TURRACH / 50TH Anniversary / 2006

Unite Divisions
Is there nothing anymore to unite us? A glitter in the eye, a gesture of a hand, a touch, a sound ‑Are we bound To the end? Many steps have Divided us, Bridges broken down to raving depth from heights but silence, above all, has created a storm and blown out love and lights. Acrylic on […]
