Unconnected Randomality

The technical process of making the artwork

It all begins with randomly taken photographs I shoot blindfolded.

From the resulting bank of images a single image is randomly chosen and printed on recycled Kurdish newspaper's paper, usually page 6 of the Kurdistan News, and randomly smeared with colored inks, pastels, red onions and Italian virgin olive oil.

The result is placed in an unheated oven for 17 minutes, scanned and processed with Adobe Photoshop (by pressing shift-ctrl+zxbr1b19q@*-1 simultaneously) while singing the Buthanese version of La Marseillaise .

That's it. Very simple.

In order to secure unconnectivity, during the whole process I make a point of never looking at the artwork until it's finished.

(Well, between us, I sometimes sneak a peek. But no more.)

The Thought Process

Unconnected Randomality as a thought process is totally unconnected to Sartre's Existentialism and any ambiguities that may or may not be found in it regarding the thought of Kierkegaard and Nietzsche, but on the other hand, is strongly influenced by the Chaos Theory.

The thought process that culminates in the creation of my artwork is a result of the anomalities of an unresponsive set of reactions and antireactions, be it of a specific individual in general or the general public in particular.

By virtue of that, and devoid of sense, be it natural or artificial, but blimped with flatulent reasoning, the result is a rational guide for the artwork's creation and it's innate irrationality.

Other times the result is something green.

Of course, nothing of relevance, total nonsense and maybe just one relevant truth is written above.

What I do is bring to the public an aestetically pleasing work of art so they are compelled to purchase it and thus allowing me to make a living doing something that's really fun.

Reality is that in each place and scene there is an entire world. The passing of time and use gives them a personality and an identity of their own.

By altering them in shape, color or context they become my image.

A self-portrait.

I'm writing a personal diary documenting the emotions and moods that were stirred in me by those places and scenery.

I was born in Argentina in 1952 and moved to Israel as a young child.

I studied photography at Hadassah College in Jerusalem.

Furthering my education with a degree in accounting, I worked exclusively in that field until 1997.

During the years I traveled throughout the Americas and Europe.

In 1996, at the age of 44, I reconnected to art.

My works are part of private and institutional collections in the United States, Europe and Israel.

In November of 2003 I relocated to Longwood, Florida along with my family.
