“Song of the Roots” (This violin is part of a painted violin project called: “Violin of Melody and History.”)

The painted violin presents two sides full of emotion. On one side, an elderly man sits in an ancient alley, surrounded by an atmosphere of calm and tranquility, immersed in a world of books and thought. The old stone bench, surrounded by lush greenery, conveys a sense of isolation from the outside world, as if time has stopped, inviting the viewer to dive into an inner world of reflection and peace. On the other side, a righteous man adorned in a cloak sits in a thoughtful posture, his gaze penetrating the space as if searching for profound answers. The ancient tree with its thick roots emanates strength and rootedness, as if directly connected to the earth and the universe. Every detail in the painting carries a deep spiritual connection, like an inner dialogue with nature and time.

Temple stones

The abstract painting depicts the Western Wall in a colorful and lively way, where the square stones are illuminated in exceptional colors—vivid shades of blue, orange, red, and gold—giving the stones life and emotion, as if each stone carries a story. The plaza of the Wall is depicted more abstractly, but several figures of people can be seen, their faces blurred, leaving the painting open to personal interpretation. The artwork creates a sense of dynamism, as if the people and the stones are connected through light and color, without boundaries, evoking an atmosphere of holiness, emotion, and spiritual presence.
