ART Habens
Maya Gelfman
surviving art seems to be grasped as a luxury, so dedicating oneself to creating art is not trivial at all. Having said that, Israel is far from being the image that ' s depicted by the news. So for what it ' s worth, I think that this is exactly what drives so many people here to search for ever new and alternative ways to express themselves.
The search for symbiosis is apparent in every aspect of my life and even more so in my practice, since it explores, reflects and interprets life. I believe that every process is an ongoing movement between actual experiences and yet unfulfilled intentions. We establish perceptions based on firsthand or inherited impressions and measure that against our dream, thus creating a purpose and a path.
This movement can be described as a line unfolding in space. The path between where I came from, where I am and where I wish to be. The works that I create outline this path and my way manifests itself as I go along. So while I ' m trying to decipher how and what to do next, I naturally intertwine materials, play with concepts and examine multiple techniques.
