Ilan Shayt

Ilan Shayt

Israeli painter born in 1969
Ilan is known for his figurative works, portraiture, still life and Israeli landscapes, which are distinguished by classical aesthetics and contemporary philosophy drawn from his
.diverse life experiences
.His works have been exhibited in exhibitions in Israel and London
.In 2010 he studied at the New Masters Academy School's Beit Hafer for Visual Arts
.Since then he has been teaching painting in his private studio in Ibn Yehuda
His work is an investigation of contrast and form, a game of opposites and contrasts of tone and color, the realization of classical techniques to design lyrical and dramatic
.ideas

The philosophy of my art refers to the way we see the world around us. I constantly"
examine my sensations, my visual interpretation and the emotional implications of what
.is seen around me
I believe that paintings should evoke emotions among the audience, therefore I make sure to start each work from a deep observation of the motif of constant investigation and
.revelation during the creative process
I believe that paintings should instill peace that comes from the artist's personality and
.soul
My work greatly respects the comprehensive knowledge of the old masters. Along with self-examination against a modern approach, which in my opinion is essential
.for every artist
I believe that curiosity, the courage to perform and continuous searches is one of the
."main keys that must lead every artist in the ceaseless artistic journey of his life
