Statement

My art is a medium for portraying spiritual themes. Every painting has a body and a soul, the form and the content. The body is the paper and the paint; the soul is the theme being represented. A beautiful body is not enough to evoke an intellectual or emotional response with any true spiritual value. Without the body, the soul has no channel through which to express itself in the world. The textures and colors in my paintings create a visual form which is aesthetically pleasing. The visual attracts and draws interest to the theme revealed in the painting. Through the parables and the esoteric teachings of chassidic philosophy I seek to portray a deeper perspective on life and the essence of being Jewish.
