ABOUT
ARTIST STATEMENT
My art responds to the personal and the universal human experience.
I strive to transform these experiences into sculptures, both abstract and figurative, to capture motion and to express deep emotions.
I utilize a range of mediums such as clay, resin, bronze, natural and exotic wood, and I continue to explore and try out additional mediums and techniques.
BIO

He emigrated to the USA from Israel with his family and settled in Newton, Massachusetts.
After a thirty years career in technology, he can now focus entirely on his art.
In 2019 he began exhibiting his artworks.
His work was included in over 30 group exhibitions and one person shows. He received several awards.
