Dita Jacobovitz
Paints landscapes. You could say I paint one landscape, starting from observation even though the landscape has been familiar to me for almost four decades. This repeated investigation, almost a meditation, gives me peace along with hope, so in fact I never feel saturated with the landscape around me. The process has changed over the years, today I do not seek descriptive accuracy, but rather openness to the sensory level. My works take place within a figurative space, each work is born from its predecessor, like a continuous internal conversation, in which time accumulates, changes, and reorganizes. The preoccupation with color – even when it seems absent – fascinates me along with drawing, they are what keep me on the long and continuous pictorial journey, in which every movement carries with it the traces of the moment and the depth of time. I draw inspiration from Israeli artists like Uri Reisman, in whose precise color I found a close language, and Anna Tycho, whose drawings opened a gateway for me to a slow and profound observation of the landscape. My painting is based on accumulated experience, not dragged along by changing trends, but rather remains faithful to an inner world and a personal language that has been woven and built over the years.
