| My Artist Statement - contact me at nilitoc@gmail.comIt was in my blood, incubating, until 1981, when I was, living in Israel, which is my homeland.
Back then, I was introduced to clay and ecstatically made my first portrait. At that historic moment, it was as if a giant torch had been ignited in me, which since then has never turned off. For many years while practicing Psychology, I also created figurative sculptures in clay. My art focused mainly on the emotional arena. I was mesmerized by the endless variety of human expressions, and have never tired of depicting this richness.
In 1999 I moved to the USA. Until 2003, I focused my art work around psychological content. During these years I was influenced by my preferred cubic artists Barlach and Archipenko.
In 2005, I opened myself to abstraction through paintings and photography. I started with a painting of sculptures and switched to sculpting paintings. My strong tactile need, in addition to a big attraction to paints and colors, made me an eager explorer of different new materials. This enabled me to integrate painting and sculpting. Eventually, I moved my focus from human expressions to depicting my experiences, inspired by the beauty of nature and enlivened by my imagination.
In the present, I look for a middle ground between abstraction and representational art.
My art is inspired by the richness of living in two countries, which are my two different worlds, complementing each other. |
