Organic is an expression of all nature's organisms and the circle of life with in them. Our planet is full with life forms that shares this bond of different "life circles", and all together creates nature itself.

The artists in this issue are sharing their expression of the "organic nature" through the essence of each work and the message within them. In each work you can feel the power and beauty that arises from absorbing nature. We welcome you to step into an adventure to awaken the soul and connect with the "Organisms" roots.

The works shown here are part of the series "stones and fossils". A group of pieces from this series participated in Cluj International Ceramics Biennale, 3rd edition, 2017, at Cluj-Napoca Museum of Art, Romania.

In my childhood my father exposed me to the wonders of stones hiding inside ancient footprints secrets. As ceramist, I found the way to deal with this topic when I got dry clays as a gift. I cut and teared pieces of the clay and there I found the hidden clay fossils.

I’m an artist because that’s what I know

Meira Una

and love to do.

I never stopped wanting to play. I always fantasize about the final unexpected outcome of the play. About what will happen this time?

What “happens” when clay meets color and form? the tension between planning and the outcome that often is even better than what I planned, different and surprising.

The meeting of shape, color, surface and volume, will fascinates me forever.

Anat Hadar My work has a deep connection to nature, mainly love towards birds and the plantation world.

The porcelain lily flowers stimulate many associations in the eye of the observer & the temporary life of flowers lasts through the porcelain artworks.

Since the porcelain is sensitive to every movement, I try in my work to let the material speak for itself.

The hand painting upon it corresponds with ancient traditional cultures. anathadar04@gmail.com FB

Painting and sculpture is my deep inner need.

Rachel Frank

I paint in a variety of techniques. Recently most of my paintings are in acrylic. My current paintings related mainly to nature, colorful and optimistic, especially landscapes and flowers. Most of my sculptures are of women and couples. Images of rest, detachment, exploitation and self-image are integral part of my work.

The ideas for paint and sculpture that translate into art come from inspiring places and especially from sights and thoughts, in my life and around me. Transferring ideas and reviving them through the canvas and the sculpture in clay, with its flexibility and the ability to convey thought, image, feeling or idea into tangible three-dimensional object, has always fascinated me. Some of the sculptures I cast in polyester and bronze materials.

My latest abstract series of sculptures combines clay sculpture and acrylic painting on them. rachel.frank3010@gmail.com

My daily diary is full of notes, wonderments and poems I am sculpting calligraphy of my poems writing In synthetic materials. I am attracted to the “artificial coolness�, these processed materials are turning the tough one into a vulnerable one. In my calligraphy I rebel against those teachers who insisted to make my handwriting readable. I connect between letters, not erasing, losing control. No way back. ilanitvigo@gmail.com FB

Hedva and Roni Reuven From the series “The Keeper of the Forest” Bird nests, dogs, hatcheries and eyes, are some of the imagery that Hedva sculptures from white clay.

Her partner, Roni, paints the forest on wood, metal and other materials.

In their works, Hedva and Roni place themselves as the forest creators and keepers and become an organic part of the “lighted and darkened” places.

In his paintings, Roni depicts a burned world, destroyed. The forest in constructed from trees, earth, roots and wood peels. All natural but a conniver of evil and grasped by fire.

When Hedva sculptures the nest or the hatchery, she is conscious of its dark layers. The sculptured nest is used as a place to preserve and prevent evil from breaking out but also keeps goodness from escaping.

The guarding dog sculptures are fragile and the sculptures of the eyes symbolize the initial connection between mother and baby. Connection between man and nature, between the alienated and the organic. roni147@barak.net.il

My works deals with nature and its application into the aesthetic fabric .

While I stand as a viewer who is enchanted by the beauty of nature and as an artist, I want to express a new order and a new point of vew.

With my paintings I talk about the continually renewed, the growth and the extinction , the hidden connections with in all , and the wonder of being the creator and the creation at the same time. The more I observe and research The nature that surrounds me, the more I am amazed by It . Looking at the phenomena of nature and the amazing programming that is behind its appearance . I have found through my art an opportunity to connect to the endless power and intelligence that exists there. michalbenzeev@gmail.com www.michalbz.com

Dalia Segev I tend to collect organic elements that I find in nature and incorporate them into my work. In nature I see an infinite source of inspiration. Imaginative spaces and creatures appear and change before my eyes.

Organic materiality leads me to a formal and colorful change that gives me an expression of immense energetic life force.

In these works I explore the relationship between combining organic elements with line, color and shape.

In the monotype prints and the threedimensional works, I choose to work with rice paper, whose fibrous material is pleasant to me and I get the print nicely. I also print plants I collect.

In the three-dimensional works I paint parts of plants that I find in nature and paste parts of my prints on them. furmansegev@gmail.com www.daliasegev.com

Ofra Kutz Ceramic Artist, lives and creates in a studio in Kfar Saba, Israel.

My work is exhibited in galleries and museums around the world and in private collections.

In recent years, I have been researching creation of meaning to my sculptural clay work by using a combination of crackle and volcano glazes, exposed texture and rough clays as well as delicate and luxurious ceramic materials, such as porcelain and gold luster decoration. This encounter creates seemingly impossible contrasts, but also creates a new and personal clay language.

I deal with the localism that emerges from the connection of opposites. I am constantly seeking the delicate balance between form and matter, between order and disorder and between planning and coincidence. ofrakutz@gmail.com FB

Naomi Linzen I am an Israeli artist, and live and work near Tel Aviv. Most of my work is in mixed media.

I paint with acrylic on canvas, combined with raw natural materials such as straw, gravel and sand that I randomly gather from my immediate surroundings.

My paintings reflect the fine balance between the parts that define me, paintings that echo an experience of mental complexity; impulsivity, turmoil and calm.

Through the process of painting layer on layer a dialogue is formed between the foreign matter and materials intended for art. Their identities gradually blur as the work progresses until finally equilibrium is reached. The result of the process is a highly textured painting with a meaning that is open for interpretation. www.naomilinzen.com nsfl64@gmail.com Wreath, mixed media, 100x80cm, 2018, photographer youval hai

explore the limits of the material, (especially simple and available materials that have already been used) and try to create from it in unconventional ways and in the techniques of handicrafts. Alongside this, My inspiration always come from the spiritual worlds of the language and wisdom of Judaism.

The creative process serves for me as a friendship ("chavruta)") in which we violate each other. Sometimes the material pushes to explore a particular subject and sometimes vice versa, and the connection I find between opposing concepts in life fascinates me, and for me it is an expression of the unity that exists in the universe and an expression of the organic connection (though sometimes hidden) that exists between all individuals.

About six months ago, I had a solo exhibition at the 'Shelter' gallery in Jerusalem called 'Windbags', attached is a link to a video.

Veronica Ellran The exposure to different cultures (was born in Colombia to European parents emigrated to Israel) sharpened my ability not only to observe details, identify and distinguish between them, but also to respect the existence of the different.

Since I live in a rich world consisting of a collection of details, I am in constant movement in two different directions: on one hand I seek the difference in the details, assessing and describing them, and on the other I search for commonalities, that is to say, searching for universality. Thus, difference gives the world beauty and universality provides harmony. www.veronicametalart.co.il veronica@ellran.com

Container Paper, 30/28/28 cm In my inner world there are endless "containers" within which I store the infinity of emotions, memories and traces left behind by experiences. These containers are created and developed naturally, throughout life, without any intervention from me. They have their own life.

In recent years, I have been trying to give form to these containers by using material (mainly, paper) in a manner similar to how these containers are created in my inner world, and thereby render the intangible tangible.

In the photographed container, made of pieces of paper glued to each other (like cells, the building blocks of our bodies), the stripes reflect the flow of movement and energy that drive the process.

Jiwon Kwak Everything in this world follows its own power and order. They often collide with each other to create something new but also sometimes end up disappearing.

My practice questions where these power and the order originate from and how it all began. Thus my work revolves around the most fundamental question that humans have been asking from the beginning: It explores the collision among many existing things on the earth; in questioning the power and the order, I continually create work through the experimenting of bringing the things together. It provides awareness in the viewers mind that they are the contributors of global society and allows them to think about living and the prosperity. www.jiwonkwak.com kwkjiwon@gmail.com Peanut girl, 55X30X70CM,Paint on Resin

My works are similar to mental puzzles, where you can travel from one point to another by analyzing a picture’s symbolic objects.

There is always something for the observer to discover.

I never force my vision or push my philosophical opinion on the viewers each and every one, can give theirs philosophy to my creation. My art is a surreal reality, all in my head. The viewer is taken a journey to places just as real as those you might find in this reality. When I start working on a new scene, it's like enter to a fantasy dream. like starting your new only virtual world.

“Everything is possible” and in the majority of my works I am trying to combine visual realities, with subconscious emotions and philosophical thoughts. tammy.tml@gmail.com www.tammymikelaufer.com

Liya Rose-Magen Julia Kristeva pointed to everything that was distanced from the body, that which came out of it and became ‘other’ or an ‘abjection’. Abjection changes the disposition of how we look at what is inside our bodies.

In my work I challenge the social and cultural conventions on which I grew up.

I photograph the body and what comes out of it. I take what we are used to throwing away and hiding, and turn these into objects that I observe, play, and touch. Thus changing the context, and role. Now it's not only a secretion of the body, it is not just blood. My blood becomes borscht, raw meat, ripe fruit, frozen.

Floating Land 150x150cm. Oil & Pencil on Canvas.2018

“Floating Land�, series [since 2017 on] includes 34 oil paintings on canvas, 150X150 cm. each.

Many transparent layers are weaved like, one on top of each other, to form into harmonious mass which contains inner motion and gentle frequencies.

The large paintings vibrate through the fundamental round element in a fluidic, organic manner.

The circle expresses the essences of motion, the intact, the utter and the intimate. It marks a place / space / belonging / land / identity and identification with the void, unconditionally, as orientating towards the intrinsic home .

The circular space is like a cartographic fluidic map and I mark it with a tack seam. Through a constant rituality I sew patches to heal a universal wound. Such ceremonial imprint is found in many other series of my paintings. .

In all my art works there is a tension between "identified" to abstract and between endless charged spaces to defined matter.

An abstract atmosphere is formed liberated from a narrative even in the presence of familiar objects.

I create and exhibit in Israel & abroad .My art works are found in museums & private collection in Israel, New-York, Tokyo, Paris, Basel, Berlin and Warsaw. mandun@bezeqint.net www.mayadunsky.com

Batyah Gazit My work reflects life as a mirror, the experience of happiness, sadness, longing, partnership and mostly they bring into account the respect I have towards women – for being women…

I draw my ideas from chance moments I experienced, photograph, the human body language and more. Lately I mostly create in a digital media, which is a field that allows unlimited creativity…

I’m challenged by many subjects. I collect materials, photograph backgrounds, and revisit works from my past (jewelry, Papiermâché, clay and fabrics)…

Combines, edits, reconnect and create new creations.

It is an amazing experience, at my age (elderly age) – to find out how wonderful it is to engage all of my senses though, I’m considered from childhood to be on the brink of deafness – as much as my imagination allows me. The digital media is very challenging, fascinating, curios and brings into expression unlimited and new possibilities…

It is surprising to find in myself – changes, passages and a kind of makeovers I go through the creation proses itself, experiencing pleasure and satisfaction.

My prints have already taken part in several exhibitions – the main gallery in Ein Hod, The Marc Chagall Artists’ House in Haifa and the north, Ben Ami Art Gallery – Tel Aviv. And were published in written journalism and television. batyah12@zahav.net.il FB

Orna Oren Izraeli Since I started my way as an artist I have been researching my family cell, its internal architecture and its relationship with the environment and society. Lately, under the influence of the Corona and politics, our culture has been shocked and undergoing an accelerated process of change. The new group of my works deals with the changes that occur within the family unit and particularly affect the older women in the family, who are doomed to stay away. I collect pictures of my grandmothers and make up new and strange characters, who have an organic connections and live alongside disruption and distortion that are the fruits of the era. Some of the works surfaces are a bed of cardboard where organic vegetables and fruits come to my house through the farm "Jewish Granny".

Another group of works, Collages, made on a veneer (Furnier) substrate, a polymer material which is so far from being organic. www.instagram.com/ornaorenizraeliart ornaorenizraeli@gmail.com

I am a professional graphic designer and an artist in my being. With an open mind and an observing eye, I create, breathe and live colors and shapes. I give freedom to my imagination and get excited about creating something new each time, starting with a simple black and white line. When the muse takes over I dive into the keyboard and create the digital collages that swirl inside my head.

The collage I create consists of digital drawing (Harmony Software); photographic elements; color surfaces and their processing together in Photoshop, until I feel that the eye is happy and the hand calms down and the imagination has become a reality of form and color. michalksb@gmail.com

Smadar Barnea Fine art photographer I am a meticulous, deeply-interested observer of my surroundings. always seeing intrigue and beauty; even in left-over, mouldy food; in dirty streets; in tragic circumstances. With my work, I want to shout "Look! There is so much beauty everywhere! You can choose to see it!“ With classic photography emerging intermittently, my hallmark and great love is the free, evocative compositions I capture abstract images, intricate and complex or extremely minimal and succinct; and staged, surreal scenes.

I have chosen to adhere to the inherent nature of photography, which is to notice and preserve what I actually see; without recourse to digital manipulation. smadar.barnea@gmail.com www.smadarbarnea.com

These paintings are part of an ongoing project that I started for myself in March 2020 as we were all told we needed to stay home.

Walking my dog in my neighborhood AAlanden in Zwolle (The Netherlands), my eyes were opened to nature in a new way. I observed vegetation growing, changing, and appearing new before me every day. Nature did not seem to pay attention to the craziness around the world. It simply was doing its thing.

The character of weed - Acrylic on canvas 30X30 cm

I lay my brushstrokes on the canvas quickly in order to get the full picture in once. That way I can more easily not include unnecessary details that will distract from the subject.

The shadow play, the darker parts of the painting as in life, emphasize the light.

My way of applying paint is like a jazz concert. Sometimes all the marks are playing together, and sometimes there is a solo part to showcase the most important shape or space in the painting. www.talifarchi.com tali@talifarchi.com

Rami Yerushalmi I got the first camera at the age of 13, and since then I have been filming.

My art has deepened throughout the years and according to age Helped me in sweetening bitter water, To erase a tear - when it appeared, To calm my angers - when they came.

I take pictures following my gut feelings.

The works are being polished mostly by choosing the correct frames, with a very minor processing.

Most of the works are the result of a research of my close environment, so I can easily go back and take the picture again, until getting the desired result.

Dania Latar My interest lies in the fantasy-like aspect of painting, in the way it functions as a parallel universe of imaginary associations. I see the painting as a screen of reflections where space, depth, and color are realized into internal vitality. The paintings feature tributes to urban legends and horror folklore, and their familiar cinematic representations that inform our collective minds.

I’m interested in the relationship between horror folklore, cinema and painting because they all enable illusory space, but while the cinematic medium provides movement and time sequence, the painting is still and provides only traces of the cinematic experience: space, figures and frozen movement. www.dania-latar.tumblr.com dlatar1@gmail.com

Margalit Primo "I'm all spots and stripes" My work focuses on re-birth and new creation; which is a focal point in my life, With the excitement of creating personal combinations, unexpected sights, the impossible, composed on a clean, smooth platform.

I immerse again, in sensuality, in spots and in stripes, This creates a work that moves, visually artistically and emotionally.

My work has a personal, complex, direct and intuitive sequence of techniques, photographic pieces (collage), pencil drawing, oil pastell, soft pastels, acrylic and other materials.

Like "delving" into the light of my soul where bits of life, images and understandings are mixed.

The small sites, the sensual shapes, sometimes also in sexual forms ...

The drawing, the lines and the flow between them, as they merge together, create "my own artistic language".

I aspire to move the viewer and enlighten while viewing my works.

I seek to excite the viewer and cause a sense of elation as much as I do. margprim@gmail.com www.margalitprimo.com

based and Brazil-born (1994).I am an individual with a real passion for creativity.

I truly believe in the transformative power of design and the ability to simplify communications, elevate experiences, engage and inspire people everywhere.

I believe that good design and good relationships come from a true passion for the sensual and the exceptional.

I am dedicated to creating bespoke, handcrafted objects that celebrate the superior quality and richness of the arts and crafts. Storytelling is an essential ingredient in my design process. Historical research in combination with material exploration and craftsmanship come together to create collectible objects that fuse the extravagant with the minimal and imbue the everyday with playfulness and pleasure. I am always excited to start a new visual dialogue, and I'm always trying to enrich my knowledge by studying and byrese arching things from outside of my comfort zone.

Ronny Almagor Painter based in Tel Aviv, B.F.A Fine-Art graduate of Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem (2018).

Observation on painting constitutes the main theme in my works, which engaged with the painting medium itself, both as a two dimensional medium, and as a surface that strives to create a dimension of depth.

My main source of inspiration is the city, various cities and particularly my city of residence, Tel Aviv. I’m inspired by the urban occurrence, people movement, construction and urban nature.

My works present images that caught my eye, such as ornamental ponds, vegetations, animals, urban nature and fountains. These images connect and intertwine upon the canvas and strives to create new compositions, which aim to discuss the relations between the “Background” and the “Image” and the interactions between viewer and painting. almagor.ronny@gmail.com www.ronnyalmagor.com

The camera is my tool My photographic series presents spiralled plastic forms as delicate patterns. out of context the plastic i creates beautiful decorative designs, though under this surfaceis the reality of our global plastic problem Set against a jet black background, the plastic forms almost glow, like mysterious creatures from the deep sea. in my work I reminds us that even deep sea organisms consume and are harmed by our plastic trash. einati125@gmail.com www.einatsart.com

I have always been driven by my two passions in life, science and art. In order to both help support my family and fulfill my interest in science, early in life I elected to steer away from the opportunities availed to me in art and pursue engineering. As my career as an engineer matured, I have felt an unrelenting need to create and have pursued every opportunity to work on art. My artistic expression has come in the form of depicting many types of images through photoshop.

With the belief that the portrayal of light is key to every piece of work I continually experiment with the depiction of light and its influences within digital artwork, especially when capturing natural settings. Creativity has always been important to humanity; however, I believe that because of the imminent disruptive technological advances driven by artificial intelligence, the importance of creativity in society will be escalated. To this end, I believe that the cultivation of creativity based on individual preferences will be essential to humanity’s evolution. sam.dinatolo@gmail.com www.samdinatolo.myportfolio.com

Miri Strauss Tlalim Born in Transylvania, 1953, lives in Jerusalem, active as painter and photographer in her studio in Tel Aviv.

Miri has a bachelor degree from Bezalel – the academy of arts and design – in the faculty of plastic arts, 1975. Miri had further studied and qualified with leading artist such as: Josef Hirsch, Michael Kovner, Jan Reichwarger, and others.

The nature and organic materials have always been an attraction, connection and inspiration for me. The vegetation, the trees, the flowers, the cycles of nature, from macro to micro.

Observing. Absorbing. Meditating.

Feeling myself part of that organism.

I'm organic.

Creating on the canvas a kind of resonance to these realities. The whole organic world symbolizes for me the processes of the mind whether it is germination, flowering, growth or withering and decay.

I choose to work with different techniques and materials and not necessarily in one style. I will use all the means that the specific subject and work calls for.

Judith Mansfeld An architect, graduated the Faculty of Architecture, Technion. I planned a variety of projects of public buildings and neighbourhoods.

Lately, I have been painting and teaching architecture.

In my youth, I painted with oil colours, in my architect's career I drawed with pencils and today I use acrylic and coal .

Today I am painting a kind of expressive abstracts by using intensive colours, which express feelings, atmosphere and mood‌ Each work is a kind of journey to an uknown, search and discovery.

Imagination and intuition lead me and the process is always exciting. judithm@bezeqint.net Acrilic on canvas 50X50cm , 2020

Nurit Shany In the human perception of reality lies a point of blindness in which data that does not conform to the prevailing paradigm is hidden from consciousness. (The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Thomas Cohn, 1962).

During my life I’m aware of at least two parallel plots through my timeline: one in my surroundings- ‘Reality’, the other inside meMental. My inner space and interpersonal space are a puzzle of multi realities and cross sections, and two people create more than two realities.

Through reflections, I wish to awaken awareness to the mental realm that evolves parallel to the outside realm related to as reality in each of us.

All the images are oil on canvas painting.

I Photoshop, cut and past the chosen details of photos from which I plan the composition.

The image are free sketched, sometimes with the help of a reflector and then painted.

Ayelet Rosenberg I am multidisciplinary artist who lives and creates in Tel-Aviv. my artwork is diverse and ever- changing but in recent years I focus on painting with oil paints, through dialogue, using correspondence and reactions to different images and ideas.

The dialogue is achieved through photographs that are sent as a reaction to an image. In my work I examine the connection between each image and its reaction. The resulting images are blended together and form paintings that tell many stories simultaneously. Through this process, the people who respond to my art, through social networks, become permanent participants in my work. ayeletr8@gmail.com www.ayeletrosenberg.com

“it’s organic" can have a very sophisticated meaning , as a recycling artist it can be even in the garbage cans. I decided to use a very banal example: flowers! I am doing now flower paintings feeling their life their beauty their inner energy and trying to bring some joy and happiness in these difficult times. www.daniellawexler.com daniella.wexler@gmail.com

Ariella Cohen I was born in the town of Gedera. I owe my talent mostly to my father who was a painter.

His hand movements are embedded in me.

The pastoral town, the vineyards, the orchards, and the birdsong strongly affected my personality and my ability to “penetrate and see through things�, to observe and absorb all the beauty.

I studied Art History as well as drawing teaching at Beit Hakerem Seminar in Jerusalem.

I taught drawing for two years, and due to life circumstances left the teaching profession.

I started drawing upon my retirement. Hesitantly and slowly I overcame all my inhibitions and was joyfully drawn into a magnificent world.

My drawings (paintings*) are abstract, arise from my guts. I use acrylic paints and oil chalks on fabric in different techniques of paint layers and scraping, while creating a different, abstract and imaginary reality. Many times I complete a piece and then cover it with paint and start over again while exposing secrets from the background.

I was deeply influenced by the artist Gerhard Richter.

Irit Rotrubin

Irit, specialized in artistic. She lives and works in Tel Aviv. Specialization, photography of works by artists.

And artists' exhibitions.

The connection to photography began in high school.

In her works, the artist deals with the connection between the camera and the object, the colors in nature, and the interior of man. She often works with techniques of light and shadow.

This photograph is actually a technique for drawing in light, Photography has a strong influence on how we perceive reality, it is a mirror that tells us about the past, affects the present, and changes the future.

The power of photography from the point of view of which I see the world intrigues me So I use the camera as a tool to see the reflected reality. “Photography for me is a painting.�

Hava Zilbershtein After twenty years of art teaching I preferred to devote myself to art only.

In the last fifteen years I create my works by etching on zinc and aluminum plates. This technique is the most suitable to express myself because of the character of the textures.

In my works I use figures made of lines and stains, situated in abstract and vague environment. havazil@gmail.com WEBSITE

Oleg Babich I was born in 1976 in Russia, and I am proud to continue my family`s artistic dynasty, which started from Eastern-European decoration artists in XVIII century.

Nature as a mystical high power, and the numerous concealed connections between the real, unreal and even human-like forms of life — these are the subjects of exploration and the basis for storytelling in my artworks.

I constantly participate in art events in Israel and abroad. Beside that, for the last 15 years, I have been working as a creative director in visual projects and films for many international clients. Also, I am glad to be a co-author of illustrative novels for kids.

All of the featured artworks are oil on canvas. olegbbch@gmail.com www.olegbabich.co

Lily David Birth and death walk hand in hand organically. When death comes, begins a wild dance of organisms that twists into the dead organism and new lives are born out of death.

Just like a line creates on plain paper a new world, a mixture of contradictions creates an organic fabric that breathe new life into the nothing.

Wherever I look into nature or in imagination, into alive or in death, I see shapes organically woven together, creating a wonderful web of new life.
