Dramas in frame

The Israeli Michal Ashkenasi lives on the edge of the impressive Negev Desert, which gives the artist the feeling of freedom and space, of clarity and lightness, thus stands for a permanent new beginning and strongly influences her work to this day.

Her abstract minimalist pieces aim to capture the essence of her thoughts and dreams without any frills that would distract from her core message. Color plays a dominant role. Ashkenasi paints in large fields of color, usually with only one small object in it. In this way, she symbolizes to the viewer the "smallness" (significance) of the individual in the universe. The large color fields create harmony in her compositions. She paints in series to achieve the greatest possible attention.

Award-winning photo art and painting at its best. Michal says: art for artists!
