I have a studio, specializing in design wall sculptures and outdoor sculptures.

I studied at Art College Hamidrasha, but mostly I'm an autodidact artist.

I exhibited in Hankin Gallery-Holon, Horas Richter Gallery-Old Jaffa, Kastiel Gallery, Beith Haomanim- Jerusalem. Art & About Gallery

I have created large scale wall sculptures as well as outdoor sculptures, sometimes they have a natural look, sometimes they are colorful and joyful.  

I opened a ceramics sculpture workshop in 1987.  Starting in 1995, I developed a new sculpture technique and material, based on concrete.

My material is eco-friendly, light in weight, thin, and sturdy.

This technique opened the doors to endless possibilities of expression for small and large-scale indoor and outdoor works.  

I am inspired by the breathtaking landscapes of the desert.  

In my works, I deal with issues of the past, concerning memories, and history, as they are being expressed in the human soul in all its complexity and variations.

Through my work, I strive to invite the viewer to explore the hidden inner parts of his/her own mind and soul.

Often in my work, you can find layers that represent experiences, wishes, emotions, thoughts, and feelings that are accumulated over the years in one's soul, as well as national historical stories.

In some of my works, there is light shining in, enlightening the inner soul with awareness and serenity.

I keep looking for the tension that is created between the surface and what's underneath, the part that is hidden from the viewer's eye.

My work is done in constant exploration of ways of expression. I try to simplify the elements in my works while preserving the expression of my spiritual ideas.  It’s a creative and intuitive process aiming a quiet minimalist monochromatic deep focused work.

In the last three years, I started using gold and paints discovering new ways of expression.
