The Feeling of the Holy City

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

The shapes in the painting evoke Jerusalem’s essence through abstract forms: rounded towers, domes, stairs, windows, modern buildings, a hint of the Wall, and the iconic streets. The movement of the city is conveyed through diagonal lines, with the rise and fall of Jerusalem’s walls creating dynamic motion, while the stillness of its history remains present, reflected in the past that shapes the city’s enduring presence.
