To paint the Western Wall and try to convey on canvas its holiness, grandeur, prayers, and the unique feelings of those present is truly a challenge!

I began with realistic paintings, faithful to photographs of the Wall…

Paintings of the entire Wall, with all its stones, showing the Wall as clear and pure.

Paintings of a few beautifully hewn stones, radiant, sometimes even appearing to weep,

Combined with shrubs layered along the stones, pigeons in the crevices, and notes tucked into the cracks.

My Western Wall paintings did not omit the figures clinging to the stones, silently caressing them and whispering prayers…

They also capture the priests’ blessings, draped in tallitot during the holidays, Torah readings, hakafot (processions), and more.

Even the resonant blast of the shofar, growing louder and more powerful, takes on a new dimension on the Wall.

And I continued with works of the Western Wall in a wide range of hues—sunrise and sunset, midnight and dawn. Every hour of the day and its unique colors reflected in the Wall enhance its beauty.

In the recent period, in the modern and contemporary direction of my paintings, the Western Wall has taken on a new face. You will find Western Wall paintings in almost every shade, in a rich array of colors and with a diverse, striking textural quality. At times, the stones have become a kind of single, steadfast mass, silently crying out one great prayer.

Many walls are white and pure, with a human heart within them—their feeling akin to that of worshippers after a sincere prayer and the pouring out of the heart in a plea for salvation.
In the walls you will see many people, at times so similar, even in their outlook;
and at other times, a colorful celebration of people of every shade of the spectrum, symbolizing the unity of the people.

I painted the Western Wall in many innovative expressions—thought-provoking and perhaps even eyebrow-raising, yet bringing joy to every discerning artistic soul.

And my great hope is that my Western Wall paintings, which adorn dozens of homes around the world, beyond being works of artistic and spiritual value, create a deep connection to a sense of ancient majesty and longing for the Eternal City.

They convey the excitement that gripped me as I painted the ‘remnant of the Holy Temple,’ my restless heart yearning and praying for the fulfillment of wishes; the longing for the Divine Presence, which has never departed from the Western Wall, to spread its wings over the entire world—
and that we may soon witness the rebuilding of the Holy Temple.
