I started to paint in order to process my memories from World War II and the immediate years after. Then I continued to paint because I had to — I couldn’t do without it.
I work in small format on purpose, strongly believing in a face-to-face intimate conversation between myself and the art in progress. I hope for the same dialogue between the finished artwork and the viewer.
The format of my works ranges in size from 9"x12" up to 30"x50".
I was born in Warsaw. My life journey took me to Siberia, Uzbekistan, back to Poland, Israel, the Netherlands, and finally the United States.
I’m a graduate of The Royal Academy in The Hague, the Netherlands.
I live and work in New York City.
To see how parts of my life are expressed in some of my work, please watch a movie called Black Milk, directed by Ofra Bloch. You can find the movie below.
