Roots and Stones

Every artwork comes with a COA (certificate of authenticity).

In this painting, an olive tree stands gracefully in the garden, its roots deep and steady, while Jerusalem is painted softly in the background. The tree carries memories of my family and the land, a symbol of resilience, continuity, and peace. Through its branches, I feel the connection between past and present, between the sacred soil and our everyday lives. For me, this work is both a tribute to the olive tree and to the enduring spirit of the Jewish people.
