Mixed media triptych While exploring connections among individuals and within communities, we recognized that connecting with inner self and with our ‘habitat’ is equally important. This mixed media triptych explores our inner ‘diversity’, our natural environment and our relation with it, as well as our place in the universe – an ultimate ‘habitat’. Finding the […]
OHBM Brain-Art 2022
The Connected Brain We were deep into assembling our ‘Connections’ project installation, when OHBM Brain-Art announced the theme of the 2022 Exhibition and competition – ‘The Connected Brain’. The theme emerged as a way to counteract human alienation caused by the Covid pandemic and its effects on the brain and mental health, to seek rejuvenation […]
Alter Ego
Masks – Anthropology, Art and Covid Our identity is expressed in different ways, but most often through facial expressions -a mirror of our souls. Smile, wrinkled forehead, eyes shining with excitement or drowning in tears. But, we often cover our face – out of necessity, or belief, or deceit, or playfulness – to assume an […]
Community
Neurographic Installation Community is a foundational unit of the society, no matter what cultural or historical background it originates from. I am not anthropologist or social scientist, just an observer…it seems to me that the community is much more than a sum of individuals forming it. Individuals and groups forming and integrating into a community […]
A Year of Hung
Acrylic paintings Chinese zodiac is a curious assembly of animals – each a symbol of the year to come and our own fate in it. Well, regardless of the Chinese year we live in (2022 is Year of the Tiger), for our Studio, this is a Year of Hung. Not only because there is a […]
Egg decorations and jewelry Easter is the expectation of times to come. Time to ‘looking forward’ – to spring, to garden, to peace, to good things. We, as a group, mark the season with bright colors, whimsical eggs and (even more) whimsical jewelry. Plans for spring and summer are abundant, from art installations, to pop-up […]

We have installed a regular ‘Featured Artwork Weekly’ item in our weekly Programmes to share these ideas. Couple of slides, short explanation of […]
(Artistic) Boundaries
Mixed media Mixed media is a blast!. I imagine that it emerged when an artist, exploring the core medium to (personal) limits, felt compelled to reach for another to break out of limiting boundaries…and, in doing so, oppened up limitless possibilities. Today, there are no boundaries. Any combination of artistic media (and objects) is accepted […]
ZenTangle
Pattern drawing Zentangle popped-up, unexpectedly, while we were engulfed in creating neurographics for the ‘Connections‘ project. Mostly because some pattern doodling into neurographic shapes could not be subdued by the prescribed neurographic ‘algorithm’. Zentangle is another type of meditative drawing that uses a mix of repeated shapes and patterns (tangles) – dots, lines, basic curves […]
Spaces around us
Landscape architecture Surroundings shape our mood, our esthetics and feeling of well-being. Sometimes we find beauty and inspiration in an unruly natural garden, other times in designed harmony of minimalist architecture. Spaces that we encounter in our daily lives can be unremarkable or disturbing, a canvas of a social bunt – or tranquil and meditative […]
