For me, having lived in Jerusalem for 22 years, there is a certain degree of self-irony, in going out for the first time with the easel, to paint in the middle of a religious quarter or under the Old City walls. Despite the fact that landscape, and generally painting from nature, are far from what I usually do, it has been an interesting and fruitful exercise for me, and I have already got some ideas about future work. And of course, an important aspect of the project for me, was the communication among us and discussions about the works. Besides, organizing a home exhibition, the fact that we create a project on our own, without any mediators or institutions – it is a very modern and promising idea, in my opinion.
