About this artwork
Rak Ani' in Hebrew means 'only me', it speaks about emerging out of personal struggles and pesimism by implementing hope and mercy into our lives.
this work is made out of cold tar, gesso, oil colors, and acrylics.
In creating this piece, I delved into the raw, intense emotions of transformation and evolution. The fiery reds and deep blacks swirl and clash, capturing a dynamic battle of change and resistance. Each stroke of acrylic and oil, intermingled… with the rugged texture of tar, embodies the tumultuous journey of growth. This painting isn't just an artwork; it’s a vivid emotional landscape designed to ignite passionate conversations and bring a powerful energy to any room it graces.

My practice is rooted in material investigation, where the artwork becomes a site of layered processes unfolding over time.
At the core of my work is industrial cold tar— carrying geological memory. Tar absorbs light, slows movement, and resists clarity, introducing friction into the visual field. When combined with oil, gesso, and pigment, it generates a continuous negotiation between opacity and luminosity, between what is buried and what is revealed.
These dense, absorptive surfaces function as active fields—capable of retaining, resisting, and transforming the materials brought into contact with them. Each work evolves through sequences of action and reaction, of revealing and concealing. The surface becomes an archive of gestures, material events, and temporal shifts.
Central to my work is the notion of layering as a structural condition. Each painting develops through successive strata of material interactions: absorption, oxidation, sedimentation, and reactivation.
