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, an act of meditation, instills in me peace with hope, I never feel tiered with the landscape around me.
This 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.
My preoccupation with color itself even when it seems absent – fascinates me: It is what keeps me on the long and continuous pictorial journey, in which every movement carries within the traces of the moment and the depths of time.
I draw inspiration from Israeli artists such as Uri Reisman, in whose precise color I found a close language, and Anna Ticho, whose drawings opened a gateway for me to a patient and profound observation of the landscape. My painting is based on accumulated experience, not carried by the tide of changing trends, but remains faithful to an inner world and a personal language that has been woven and built over the years.
