Hades Elimelech, nice to meet you
Art is my life: painting, music, writing. I was born to create.
Whether through music, painting, writing, or singing – any way my heart seeks to express itself.
Painting is a natural tool for me that developed from movement, unlike music – which I did not study and served as an escape during the days when my heart was broken, and it was really hard for me to sing. I always loved to paint, but the love and the dive into the delicacy of ink on one hand, and its unpredictable uniqueness on the other, which only began in 2017, connected with the heartbreak and the love that pulsed through it.
The silence I recognized within myself through this, and the unique opportunity to do my best without the option to erase, where every moment is a new canvas – merged into my experience of self in the world.
Painting, like my life, is through trial and error, searching and acceptance. It is a quiet page on which I can create a refuge for emotion or a window to dreams, expressing the beauty in nature and the magic that is broken by the personal angle of light from my brush and my heart. The landscapes of the Upper Galilee, the water, the birds, the flowers, the roots, and the branches are woven into my language and my memories and find much poetic expression in all the mediums of my creations.
