About

My name is Shir Zalcman and I am thirty-five years old. I am an Israeli artist based in central Israel. focusing on acrylic and charcoal mediums painted on a variety of canvas sizes. I paint shapes and colours that elicit the emotional experience of my everyday. As a self-taught artist, I continued my love for art by receiving my Masters in art therapy. Using palette knives, brushes, and charcoal, I create depth in my paintings with texture and line work. Choosing soft colour palettes, I let the textures become shapes by layering them together. creating bolder impressions of shifting perspectives, the lines of charcoal evoke a delicate and dreamy composition of being between two dimensional and three dimensional states.

Curator Review

Red View

Like an internal monolith, this abstract scape exudes authenticity and delves into veracity. Zalcman’s wondrously emotive work, boldly exacts attention from the viewer. Her fearless articulation utilizes several techniques and appears to be in a constant state of movement and flux. This enigmatic piece most certainly speaks of something beyond the obvious whilst touching on the primitive, in raw, unimpeded expression. - E.E. Jacks Central Israel
