About Series

Landscapes we love are often more vulnerable than they appear.

Places from Israel's nature parks have been the subject of this series and have been exhibited several times in collaboration with the Israel Nature and Parks Authority. The works were shown at the En Afek Nature Park Gallery and in additional venues, including the Caesarea Community Center, where the exhibition was accompanied by a lecture by Itai Roffman from the Jane Goodall Institute Israel.

Fragile Landscapes presents a series of paintings depicting familiar natural places—including Ein Gedi Nature Reserve, Hula Nature Reserve, and Ein Avdat National Park—whose beauty often conceals their vulnerability. These landscapes—sites of memory, belonging, and quiet refuge—are not presented merely as views to admire, but as living environments whose future depends on human care.

Through attentive observation and a contemplative painterly approach, the works seek to create an intimate encounter between the viewer and the land. The landscapes appear serene and enduring, yet beneath their stillness lies an awareness of ecological fragility—of pollution, environmental neglect, and the gradual disturbance of natural balance.

Rather than portraying devastation directly, the paintings focus on what remains precious. By returning to the enduring tradition of landscape painting, the series invites viewers to pause, to look again at places they may already know and love, and to reflect on their relationship with the natural world.

In this space between admiration and concern, Fragile Landscapes asks a quiet but urgent question: what does it mean to love a landscape today, and how might that love translate into responsibility?

What appears timeless in the landscape may, in truth, depend on the choices we make today.
