Yigal Ozeri’s exceptional ability to render his subjects in a realistic manner is enchanting and unbelievable.
“Ozeri breathes life into the fleeting moments that he had captured, challenging the momentary recording of the photograph, turning the temporal to the eternal. The paintings are not to be read as photorealistic, but rather, as transcending reality, a visual meditation on the soul” – Shlomi Rabi

Ozeri captures his muses in naturalistic environments and uses video stills and photographs as templates for his paintings. With minor digital alterations in colour and contrast to the images, the artist works to express the spirit of the moment as well as to convey a sense of idealism. His subjects are framed in transcendental moments, eschewing banal reality in favour of romanticized tableaus.
