About
Heidi Efrat
Finnish - Israeli artist
born 1979
The process of creation starts from a blank canvas and head full of things.
I believe my art to reflect the individual moments and emotions of that particular time of life. But the reflection of mine is not the reflection of the viewer. Therefore, my paintings stay alive and their point of view is varying through time and is dependent of ourselves.
So, it is not as much the beauty I am looking for, but instead, what is the work of art making one feel and think.
While I create these layers of existence of myself, I am offering an opportunity for the viewer to blend it into another reality; of his or her own.
The greatest joy of painting for me, is the process; how, like in life, combining clear ideas with confusion, hard work with wonderful flow of series of events, dedication and honesty, creates something unique and very true.
I have succeeded as an artist, if my art makes you stop in front of it and brings up something unexpected inside of you.
